The excited states of heavy helium isotope 6 He were studied in stopped pion absorption in the reactions4 He)X and 12 C( − ,t 3 He)X. The experiment was carried out on LANL accelerator using two-arm multilayer semiconductor spectrometer of charged particles. Search for states of the 6 Hе was performed in missing mass spectra in inclusive and correlation measurements.New state of 6 He with E = 4.8(2) MeV and Г = 2.9(2) MeV has been observed in the 9 Be( − ,t)X reaction. Excitation energies and widths observed states are compared with results obtained in stopped pion absorption by boron isotopes 10,11 B.
