Abstract
The integrated cross section for a special type of double polarized proton-deuteron scattering constitutes a null test forvtime-invariance violating but P-parity conserving effects. Using the Glauber theory for the 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 -meson, to the null-test signal vanishes. Variation of the cross section due to strong hadronic and Coulomb interaction is studied and its energy dependence is calculated in the GeV region.
