$\DeclareMathOperator\Bl{Bl}\DeclareMathOperator\Hilb{Hilb}\DeclareMathOperator\Sym{Sym}\newcommand\Sch{\mathit{Sch}}\newcommand\Sets{\mathit{Sets}}$Let $X$ be a smooth variety. The Hilbert scheme of two points $X^{[2]}$ on $X$ can be obtained by blowup the diagonal of the symmetric product $\Sym^2X:=(X\times X)/\mathbb Z\_2$:
$$X^{[2]}\cong\Bl\_{\Delta}(\Sym^2X)\to \Sym^2X.$$


By definition, this space represents the Hilbert functor \begin{gather\*}
\Hilb^2\_X:\Sch^\text{op}\to \Sets \\
T\mapsto \{{\text{flat families of subschemes of $X$ of length 2 over $T$}}\}/{\sim}.
\end{gather\*}
I'm interested in the space $\Bl\_{\Delta}(X\times X)$, which is a double cover of $X^{[2]}$ branched along the exceptional divisor. In fact it is obtained as the fiber product square:
$\require{AMScd}$
\begin{CD}
\Bl\_{\Delta}(X\times X) @>>> \Bl\_{\Delta}(\Sym^2X)\\
@VVV @VVV\\
X\times X @>>> \Sym^2X.
\end{CD}


I'd like to know if there is a modular interpretation of the double cover $\Bl\_{\Delta}(X\times X)$. To me, it should be something like the "Hilbert scheme" of ordered two points: Its general point parameterizes two points with an order; When the two points collide and become a fat point, it forget the order. However, I don't know how to formulate the modularity more precisely.


So perhaps here is what I want to ask: Is there a moduli functor $\mathcal{M}:\Sch^\text{op}\to \Sets$
representable by the variety $\Bl\_{\Delta}(X\times X)$?



$\text{Bl}_{\Delta}(X\times X)$ as the "Hilbert scheme" of ordered two points on $X$
Let $X$ be a smooth variety, and $X[n]$ the variety obtained from $X^n = X\times\dots \times X$ by blowing-up the diagonals in order of increasing dimension.


The variety $X[n]$ is a wonderful compactification (the added boundary divisor is simple normal crossing) of the configuration space of $n$ ordered points on $X$. It is known as the Fulton-MacPherson configuration space and it has been constructed in various ways here:


W. Fulton, R. MacPherson, *A Compactification of Configuration Spaces*, Annals of Mathematics, Second Series, Vol. 139, No. 1 (Jan., 1994), pp. 183-225.


In particular, in Theorem $4$ of the paper above you can find the precise definition of the moduli functor you are looking for.


When $n = 2$ the space $X[2]$ is just the blow-up of $X\times X$ along the diagonal. In particular, when $X = C$ is a curve then $C[2] = C\times C$ and $C[3]$ is $C\times C\times C$ blown-up along the small diagonal since the three bigger diagonals are divisors.
