Abstract: (Elsevier)
The angular distributions of nucléons from a kinematically complete measurement of pions absorbed in 3 He on nucleon pairs with isospin T = 0 and T = 1 at incident pion energies of 64, 119, 162 and 206 MeV are presented. The T = 0 data are quite similar to pion absorption data in deuterium but scale with the number of nucleon pairs. The T = 1 cross sections are an order of magnitude smaller and the angular distributions show a significant asymmetry. This asymmetry together with the measured energy dependence indicates interference effects between amplitudes with and without Δ isobars in the intermediate states.
