Abstract
Measurements of the differential cross section for the pion-induced isobaric analog transition in the A=3 system are presented. This measurement, in which low energy recoiling nuclei were detected, is the first at forward pion angles and incident energies where the spin flip (ΔS=1) contribution to the differential cross section is predicted to have its strongest influence. Although the data are not sufficiently accurate to support a definitive conclusion, they agree best with a calculation that includes this contribution.
