Description

Elastic scattering of 180-MeV π+ and π- on 3He and tritium has been measured from theta/sub π/(c.m.) = 440 to 960. The superratio Requivalent[dsigma(π++3H)/dsigma(π-+3He)]/[dsigma(π++3He) dsigma(π-+3H)] is found to vary with angle reaching a maximum of 1.31 +- 0.09 at theta/sub π/ = 650. The direct Coulomb effects do not account for the observed differences of R from 1.0 which is the expected value on the basis of charge symmetry
