We have measured differential cross sections for pion elastic scattering from H3 and He3 in the angular region near the minimum in the non-spin-flip amplitude. Data were acquired for incident pion energies of 180, 220, 256, and 295 MeV. Nuclear charge symmetry is investigated with the aid of several charge-symmetric ratios formed from combinations of measured cross sections. A particularly intriguing result is obtained from the superratio R, which is defined as R=dσ(π+3H)dσ(π−3H)/dσ(π+3He)dσ(π−3He). R is found to be greater than unity at 180 MeV and significantly smaller than unity at 256 MeV, with the transition occurring at around 210 MeV. The charge-symmetry prediction for this ratio (after allowance for the Coulomb force) is one, and is independent of energy and angle. © 1996 The American Physical Society.

Elastic scattering of pions from H-3 and He-3 into the backward hemisphere

We have measured differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of charged pions from H3 and He3 into the backward hemisphere. Near the peak of the delta resonance, at Tπ=180 MeV, an angular distribution covering 114° to 168° in the laboratory extends our earlier measurements. At Tπ=142, 180, 220, and 256 MeV, we have measured an excitation function at angles approaching 170°. The cross sections for the reactions He3(π+,π+)3He, H3(π−,π−)3H show a rise at back angles which is not seen for He3(π−,π−)3He and H3(π+,π+)3H. There is a dip in the cross sections near 130° for Tπ=180 MeV.

Superratio and the simple ratios of pi+ and pi- elastic scattering on H-3 and He-3 at 180-MeV to investigate charge symmetry

Results are presented for the charge-symmetry superratio R, simple ratios r1 and r2, and the differential cross sections of π+ and π− elastic scattering on H3 and He3: R=r1r2, r1=σ(θ)[π+ π+3 ]3/σ(θ)[π− π−3 ]3, and r2=σ(θ)[π− π−3 ]3/σ(θ)[π+ He3 →π+ ]3. The measurements were made at Tπ=180 MeV and θπ(lab)=40°–90°; some data were obtained at Tπ=143 MeV also. At all angles, R>1 and r2>1 indicative of a violation of charge symmetry; however, we also find that r1≃1. Our data are consistent with Fp(3H)≃Fn(3He) and Fn(3H)>Fp(3He), where Fp and Fn are the proton and neutron matter form factors. σ(θ)[π± π±3 ]3 decreases with increasing magnitude of the four-momentum transfer t up to θc.m.≃70°; the t dependence of the F ’s is comparable to that of the electromagnetic form factors. σ(θ)[π− π−33H] has a non-spin-flip dip at θc.m.≃78°.
