Abstract
The $^{16}$Ne nucleus is a two-proton ($2p$) emitter, where an interference of two resonances is expected since its core-proton subsystem, $^{15}$F$=^{14}$O$+p$, has separate resonances in the $s_{1/2}$ and $d_{5/2}$ channels. We theoretically investigate the $2p$ emission from the unbound $0^{+}$ state of $^{16}$Ne. To investigate the $2p$-emitting process, we perform the time-dependent calculations based on the three-body model of $^{14}$O$+p+p$. By evaluating the survival probability, a deviation from the exponential decay is obtained. In correspondence, the $2p$-energy spectrum of $^{16}$Ne is not of the single resonance, but an interference of the main narrow and the second broad resonances is obtained. In time-dependent calculations, the sequential $1p$-$1p$ emission from $^{16}$Ne is relatively dominant as long as the manifest $s_{1/2}$ resonance in $^{15}$F exists. The diproton-correlating emission becomes active only if the $s_{1/2}$ resonance is broad. As conclusion, the $2p$ emission of $^{16}$Ne is one example of the multi-resonance interference in open-quantum systems. The $s_{1/2}$ intermediate resonance is essential to realize this interference, and induces the sequential emission. The $2p$-decaying state is predicted to have the spin-singlet entanglement independently of whether the emission is sequential or correlating.
