R-matrix and dynamical theory of three-body resonances

R-matrix theory is applied to three-body resonances by treating the decay as two sequential two-body decays. This allows the decay to proceed through up to three different decay routes, each with an associated width. From the literature it is unclear whether these widths should be combined incoheren...
