Abstract
The energy spectrum of neutrons from the He-6(2+) --> alpha + n + n de cay is measured in an exclusive experiment. This nucleus is populated in the Li-7(d, He-3)He-6 reaction at E(d) = 23 MeV. The shape of the neutron spectrum reflects the strong momentum correlations of decay pr oducts. The data analysis is carried out using the method of hypersphe rical harmonics. It is shown that the observed correlations are manife stations of the specific three-particle effect in the structure of the decaying nucleus.
