The interaction of an $E/A$=57.6-MeV $^{17}$Ne beam with a Be target was used
to populate levels in $^{16}$Ne following neutron knockout reactions. The decay
of $^{16}$Ne states into the three-body $^{14}$O+$p$+$p$ continuum was observed
in the High Resolution Array (HiRA). For the first time for a 2p emitter,
correlations between the momenta of the three decay products were measured with
sufficient resolution and statistics to allow for an unambiguous demonstration
of their dependence on the long-range nature of the Coulomb interaction.
Contrary to previous experiments, the intrinsic decay width of the $^{16}$Ne
ground state was found to be narrow ($\Gamma<60$~keV), consistent with
theoretical estimates.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

The interaction of an E/A = 57.6-MeV Ne-17 beam with a Be target is used to populate levels in Ne-16 following neutron knockout reactions. The decay of 16Ne states into the three-body O-14 + p + p continuum is observed in the High Resolution Array (HiRA). For the first time for a 2p emitter, correlations between the momenta of the three decay products are measured with sufficient resolution and statistics to allow for an unambiguous demonstration of their dependence on the long-range nature of the Coulomb interaction. Contrary to previous measurements, our measured limit Gamma < 80 keV for the intrinsic decay width of the ground state is not in contradiction to the small values (of the order of keV) predicted theoretically
