Abstract
Three-body correlations for the ground-state decay of the lightest two-proton emitter $^{6}\mathrm{Be}$ are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical studies are performed in a three-body hyperspherical-harmonics cluster model. In the experimental studies, the ground state of $^{6}\mathrm{Be}$ was formed following the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ decay of a $^{10}\mathrm{C}$ beam inelastically excited through interactions with Be and C targets. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment is obtained demonstrating the existence of complicated correlation patterns that can elucidate the structure of $^{6}\mathrm{Be}$ and, possibly, of the $A=6$ isobars.
