Abstract
A microscopic approach to fragment momentum distributions in diffractive br eakup of Borromean two-neutron halo nuclei is developed, taking into accoun t the correlated structure of the halo continuum. The crucial role of the l ow-lying three-body resonances and soft modes in determining distribution c haracteristics is demonstrated.
