The differential cross section for the exclusive reaction has been measured with high resolution and large statistics over a large fraction of the backward 3He hemisphere at the excess energy 265 MeV using the COSY-ANKE magnetic spectrometer. Though the well-known ABC enhancement is observed in the
spectrum, the differences detected between the
and
invariant-mass distributions show that there must be some isospin-one
production even at relatively low excess energies. The invariant-mass differences are modeled in terms of the sequential decay
