Abstract

A search for the production of a bound trineutron state has been performed using the reaction ³He(π^-,π⁺)nnn at incident pion energies of 65, 75, and 120 MeV. No evidence for the existence of the ³n was found, and an upper limit for the production cross section of approximately 30 nb/sr (2σ confidence level) was obtained.
