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°.
