In a systematic area scanning of emulsion pellicles irradiated with the separated beam of 4.6 Bev/c negative pions, 290 double stars--- so-called hammer stars---were observed and carefully measured. It is seen that 35 of these events have features that distinguish them from the ordinary hammer tracks usually caused by Li/sup 8/-decay. From their kinematical analyses, these 35 events can be interpreted as due to the radioactive decays of the Li/sup 9/ nuclei. Also the energy levels of Be/sup 9/ can be calculated from their analyses. (auth)
