The results obtained by estimating the contribution of 8Be and 9B nuclei to the coherent dissociation of {sup 10}C, {sup 10}B, and {sup 12}C relativistic nuclei in nuclear track emulsions (“white” stars) are presented. The selection of white stars accompanied by 9B leads to a distinct peak appearing in the distribution of the excitation energy of 2α2p ensembles and having a maximum at 4.1 ± 0.3 MeV. A 8Be nucleus manifests itself in the coherent-dissociation reaction {sup 10}B → {sup 2}He + H with a probability of (25 ± 5)%, (14 ± 3)% of it being due to 9B decays. The ratio of the branching fractions of the {sup 9}B + n and {sup 9}Be + p mirror channels is estimated at 6 ± 1. An analysis of the relativistic dissociation of {sup 12}C nuclei in a nuclear track emulsion revealed nine 3α events corresponding to the Hoyle state.
