Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The integrated cross section [Formula: see text] for a special type of double polarized proton-deuteron scattering constitutes a null test for time-invariance violating but P-parity conserving effects. Using Glauber theory for the [Formula: see text] elastic scattering and different types of phenomenological T-odd P-even NN-interactions we show that the contribution of the lowest mass meson exchange, i.e. the [Formula: see text]-meson, to the null-test signal [Formula: see text] vanishes. Variation of the cross section [Formula: see text] due to strong hadronic and Coulomb interaction is studied and its energy dependence is calculated in the GeV region.
