1.1 Dineutron correlation Dineutron correlation in 2n-Borromean nuclei (theoretically predicted): K.Hagino, and H.Sagawa, PRC72(‘05)044321 Remarkable localization of two neutrons “dineutron correlation”. How about two protons in a weakly bound system?
1.2 17Ne nucleus (1)
1.2 17Ne nucleus (2) Typical “2p-Borromean” nucleus; proton-unbound, stable for proton emission. 17Ne is an ideal system to analyze diproton correlation.
2.1 Three-body-model Off-diagonal
2.2 Pairing interaction Explicit Coulomb interaction Density-dependent contact interaction We need cutoff:EC to determine v0 (pairing in vacuum). Other parameters are fixed to obtain g.s.energy of 17Ne:-0.944 MeV.
2.3 Single-particle basis Woods-Saxon + Coulomb potential for p-Core
Averaged Resonances
2.3 Box-approximation Put infinite wall at r=Rbox: Continuum states are discretized. Resonances of 16F at 0.675 MeV (s1/2) and at 1.129 MeV (d5/2) are reproduced.
2.5 Expansion with s.p.basis Determined by diagonalization 0+ configuration for g.s.

3.2 Results (2) “Diproton correlation”
4. Summary We performed three-body-model calculation for 17Ne with density-dependent contact pairing and the Coulomb interaction. Coulomb repulsion contributes about 14% reduction to pairing energy. Existence of strong “diproton correlation”. Future works: application to 2p-emission.
