3 H̃e nuclei were observed in the negative beam, produced by 70 GeV protons on an Al target. Five 3 H̃e have been identified among 2.4 · 10 11 particles that passed through the apparatus. Scintillation and Čerenkov counters were used to measure the electrical charge and velocity of particles. The mass of 3 H̃e is found to be M 3 H ̃ e = (1.00 ± 0.03)3m p , the charge is z = (0.99 ± 0.03)2 e . The ratio of differential production cross sections of 3 H ̃ e (P = 20 GeV /c) and π − (P = 10 GeV/c ) equals 2 · 10 −11 . This corresponds to antihelium −3 production cross section d 2 σ 3 H ̃ e / d Ω d P = 2.0 · 10 −35 cm 2 / sr · GeV /c per Al nuclei and 2.2 · 10 −36 cm 2 sr · GeV/ c per nucleon.

The results of the experiment searching for quarks with charge − 1 3 and 2 3 produced by 70 GeV protons on an aluminium target at zero angle are reported. For the selection of quarks the system of spectrometric scintillation counters, time-of-flight spectrometer, gas Cerenkov threshold counter and magnetic spectrometer with spark chambers were used. In the range of masses available at the IHEP accelerator, quarks were not found. The upper limit estimation of the differential cross-section for quark production with mass ⩽ 5 GeV /c 2− and charge −1 3 is 7×10 −38 cm 2 / ster GeV /c (with 90% confidence level). The total cross-section for quark production with charge −1 3 and mass 4.5–5 GeV /c 2 does not exceed 3×10 −39 cm 2 .
