The nuclear widths GAMMA/sup J/v and shifts ..delta..E/sup J/v of the levels (Jv) of the mesic molecule dt..mu.., which are due to the resonant interaction of d and t in the s-band, are expressed in terms of the cross section for the reaction d+t..-->..n+/sup 4/He. It is established that the influence of the nuclear resonance /sup 5/He* (3/2/sup +/) on the spectrum of the mesic-molecule states is weak because of the low probability of finding d and t in the range of the nuclear forces in the mesic molecule dt..mu.. and to the large inelastic width of the resonance. The obtained nuclear widths and shifts agree with the results of a calculation that makes use of the generalized optical potential corresponding to the problem of the coupled dt--n/sup 4/He channels.
