Abstract

The elastic backward proton-deuteron scattering is analyzed within a covariant approach based on the invariant expansion of the reaction amplitude. The relativistic invariant equations for all the polarization observables are presented. Within the impulse approximation the relation of the tensor analyzing power T20 and the polarization transfer κ0 to P-wave components of the deuteron wave function is found. The comparison of the theoretical calculations with experimental data is presented. An experimental verification of the reaction mechanism is suggested by constructing some combinations of different observables.
