Abstract

y and tensor polarization Pxz of the deuteron target provides a null-test signal for time-reversal invariance violating but P-parity conserving (TVPC) effects. We study the null-test observable σ within the Glauber theory of the double-polarized pd scattering. Full spin dependence of the ordinary strong pN scattering amplitudes and different types of the hypothetical TVPC pN amplitudes are taken into account. We show that the contribution from the exchange of the lowest-mass meson allowed in the TVPC interaction, i.e., the ρ meson, to the null-test observable σ is zero. The axial h1 meson exchange makes a nonzero contribution. We find that inclusion of the Coulomb interaction does not lead to divergence of the cross section σ and we calculate its energy dependence at the proton beam energy 100‐1000 MeV.
