  An implementation of the shell-model to the complex energy plane is
presented. The representation used in the method consists of bound
single-particle states, Gamow resonances and scattering waves on the complex
energy plane. Two-particle resonances are evaluated and their structure in
terms of the single-particle degreees of freedom are analysed. It is found that
two-particle resonances are mainly built upon bound states and Gamow
resonances, but the contribution of the scattering states is also important.
