Angular distributions for the differential cross section and three deuteron analyzing powers {ital iT}{sub 11}, {ital T}{sub 20}, and {ital T}{sub 22} of the reaction {ital d}{searrow}{ital p}{r_arrow}{sup 3}He{pi}{sup 0} have been measured over the whole angular domain at 20 energies close to threshold (0.03{lt}{ital T}{sub {pi}}{sup c.m.}{lt}10.2 MeV). The differential cross section and tensor analyzing power {ital T}{sub 20} both show strong variation in energy and angle due to interference between {ital S}- and {ital P}-wave pion production, whereas {ital iT}{sub 11} and {ital T}{sub 22} remain consistent with zero over the whole experimental range. All the data at different energies and angles fall on universal curves when plotted as functions of the single variable {ital p}{sub {pi}}cos{Theta}, evaluated in the c.m. The broad features of the results are in line with theoretical expectations. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
