Cross sections have been measured for the inelastic scattering of [pi][sup +] and [pi][sup [minus]] mesons from [sup 3]H and [sup 3]He in the 10-MeV interval just above the breakup thresholds, for incident pion energies of 142, 180, and 220 MeV and scattering angles of 40[degree], 60[degree], 80[degree], 90[degree], and 110[degree]. No significant departure from unity is observed for the ratios of charge-symmetric cross sections. Comparisons are made with elastic pion-scattering and inelastic electron-scattering data.
