We have studied the properties of low-lying levels in 7He using the 2H(6He,p)7He reaction at 11.5 MeV/u. This reaction probes the 6Heg.s.+n character of states in 7He. The ground state was populated with a spectroscopic factor comparable to that obtained from ab initio calculations, supporting the tentative spin-parity assignment of 3/2- in the literature. In addition to the ground state, a broad structure is observed between EX=2–3 MeV, the excitation-energy range expected for the 1/2- state in 7He. No evidence was found for a lower-lying, first-excited state reported recently.
