A comparison is made of the principal characteristics of helium nuclei having kinetic energies greater than 100 MeV and the corresponding characteristics of secondary particles emitted from disintegrations of the heavy component of nuclear emulsion due to the influence of incident hadrons with momenta from 7 to 200 GeV/c. From the angular and energy characteristics, and also on the basis of an analysis of the distributions with respect to the number of particles in the disintegrations, it is shown that the ..pi.. mesons generated in nucleon-nucleon collisions inside the nucleus do not give a specific contribution to the production of doubly charged high energy particles. The analogy between the emission of helium isotopes with E/sub kin/>100 MeV and the emission of fast recoil nucleons is established over a wide range of energies of the interacting hadrons.
