The result is 2.13 plus or minus 0.15 which is in agreement with the prediction of a ratio 2 on the basis of charge independence alone. The production cross sections were found to be (d sigma /d OMEGA )/sub He3/ = 5.41 plus or minus 0.29 mu b/sr and (d sigma /d OMEGA )/sub H3/ = 11.55 plus or minus 0.49 mu b/sr.
