Abstract: (APS)
Elastic scattering of 180-MeV π+ and π− on He3 and tritium has been measured from θπ(c.m.)=44° to 96°. The superratio R≡[dσ(π++H3)dσ(π−+He3)][dσ(π++He3)dσ(π−+H3)] is found to vary with angle reaching a maximum of 1.31±0.09 at θπ=65°. 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.
