Abstract
Measurements have been made of pi(+) absorption on He-3 at T-pi+ = 118 , 162, and 239 MeV using the Large Acceptance Detector System. The nea rly 4 pi solid angle coverage of this detector minimizes uncertainties associated with extrapolations over unmeasured regions of phase space . The total absorption cross section is reported. In addition, the tot al cross section is divided into components in which only two or all t hree nucleons play a significant role in the process. These are the fi rst direct measurements of the total and three nucleon absorption cros s sections.
