description: The unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) differential cross sections in $^3$He($e,e^{\prime}π^{\pm}$)$X$ have been measured for the first time in Jefferson Lab experiment E06-010 performed with a $5.9\,$GeV $e^-$ beam on a $^3$He target. The experiment focuses on the valence quark region, covering a kinematic range $0.12 &lt; x_{bj} &lt; 0.45$, $1 &lt; Q^2 &lt; 4 \, \textrm{(GeV/c)}^2$, $0.45 &lt; z_{h} &lt; 0.65$, and $0.05 &lt; P_t &lt; 0.55 \, \textrm{GeV/c}$. The extracted SIDIS differential cross sections of $π^{\pm}$ production are compared with existing phenomenological models while the $^3$He nucleus approximated as two protons and one neutron in a plane wave picture, in multi-dimensional bins. Within the experimental uncertainties, the azimuthal modulations of the cross sections are found to be consistent with zero.
