Results are reported for high-energy beam experiments with C{sub 60}{sup 2+} and C{sub 60}{sup 3+} conducted with a four-sector mass spectrometer. Collision-induced dissociation spectra were recorded with helium as the collision gas at kinetic energies of 6, 8, 10, and 16 keV for C{sub 60}{sup 2+} and 9 keV for C{sub 60}{sup 3+}. The spectra show the loss of C{sub 2n} fragments and reveal accompanying signals corresponding to the retention of He. Their interpretation indicates that a helium atom has been incorporated into the multiply charged C{sub 60} cations in the course of the collisions and so provides additional evidence for the formation of endohedral fullerene compounds.
