The complete three-body correlation pictures are experimentally reconstructed for the two-proton decays of the Be-6 and (45)e ground states. We are able to see qualitative similarities and differences between these decays. They demonstrate very good agreement with the predictions of a theoretical three-body cluster model. Validity of the theoretical methods for treatment of the three-body Coulombic decays of this class is thus established by the broad range of lifetimes and nuclear masses spanned by these cases. Implementations for decay dynamics and nuclear structure of 2p emitters are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
