Borromean nucleus

A Borromean nucleus is an atomic nucleus comprising three bound components in which any subsystem of two components is unbound. This has the consequence that if one component is removed, the remaining two comprise an unbound resonance, so that the original nucleus is split into three parts.

The name is derived from the Borromean rings, a system of three linked rings in which no pair of rings is linked.
