In order to develop a procedure for calculation of pion absorption on [sup 3]He, we perform the decomposition of the absorption amplitude in three-nucleon partial waves, with full inclusion of antisymmetrization effects among the nucleons. Within this formalism, the matrix elements of the [Delta]-rescattering term, believed to be the dominant elementary absorption mechanism, are evaluated and embedded in the full (Faddeev-based) nuclear dynamics. This implies the treatment of the 3[l arrow]3 and 2[l arrow]3 processes in the final state. Since no attempt is made to include distortions due to the four-body ([pi][ital NNN]) dynamics, the trinucleon bound-state wave function is the only requirement in the initial state.
