We consider T-violating P-conserving proton-deuteron forward elastic scattering amplitude in a frame of the Glauber multiscattering theory, proceeding from T-odd, P-even N-N interaction.
The optical theorem allowing the determination of the total cross section for a hadron-hadron scattering from the imaginary part of the forward elastic scattering amplitude is believed to be an unavoidable consequence of the conservation of…
