Resumo

The coherent ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}{(e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{)}^{3}\mathrm{H}$ reaction was measured at ${Q}^{2}=0.4 (\mathrm{GeV}{/c)}^{2}$ and $W=1.6 \mathrm{GeV}$ for two values of the virtual photon polarization, \ensuremath{\epsilon}, allowing the separation of longitudinal and transverse cross sections. The results from the coherent process on ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ were compared to $\mathrm{H}{(e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})n$ data taken at the same kinematics. This marks the first direct comparison of these processes. At these kinematics ${(p}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}=1.1 \mathrm{GeV}/c),$ pion rescattering from the spectator nucleons in the ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}{(e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{)}^{3}\mathrm{H}$ process is expected to be small, simplifying the comparison to ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ production from the free proton.
