Test of T-Invariance in Scattering of Polarized Protons on Tensor-Polarized Deuterons at Energies of the NICA SPD

The effect of violation of T-invariance, provided that parity is preserved, is given by the total cross section of the interaction of a vector-polarized particle with a tensor-polarized target. A formalism for calculating this effect developed previously and based on the spin-dependent Glauber theory of elastic $$pd$$ scattering is used here to calculate the effect under discussion in the range of collision energies corresponding to the invariant mass of the $$pN$$ system $$\sqrt {{{s}_{{pN}}}} $$ = 5–30 GeV. The spin-dependent amplitudes of elastic $$pN$$ scattering required for this calculation are taken from existing phenomenological models for $$pN$$ scattering in the energy region considered.
