We present the first results of a calculation of the differential cross section and of polarization observables for proton-deuteron elastic scattering at 10 MeV proton laboratory energy, for the Paris potential. The method used is the "screening and renormalization approach" which allows one to correctly take into account the Coulomb repulsion between the two protons. Comparison is made with the precise experimental data of Sagara et al. [Phys. Rev. C 50, 576 (1994)] and of Sperison et al. [Nucl. Phys. A422, 81 (1984)].

The goal behind this endeavor is to get a better understanding of interesting physical phenomena such as three-nucleon forces and off-shell behavior of the nuclear interaction; but also signatures of the quark substructure may be obtainable. Furthermore, extraction of NN on-shell information which is difficult to deduce from NN scattering experiments could be possible. Such expectations are, however, to be confronted with the experimental situation which for neutrons as projectiles is rather unsatisfactory: despite great efforts, the available data are sparse and of an accuracy which as yet does not allow one to meaningfully differentiate between all of the various theoretical assumptions entering the calculations.For the proton-induced reaction ͑pd͒, on the other hand, a rich body of accurate data is available and is still being continuously expanded. There, however, the theoretical situation has been unsatisfactory until now. Either, when being of similar sophistication as in the nd case, reliable calculations had to be confined to energies below the deuteron breakup threshold [2,3] or, when performed at positive energies, had to resort to a simple ansatz for the nuclear interaction [4]. But the few cases where experiments have been performed for the nd and the pd reaction, for the same observable, at the same energy, clearly show that the presence of the Coulomb force in the latter case, in general, modifies the observables appreciably. Hence, the standard procedure of comparing "realistic" nd calculations with pd data must be considered unsatisfactory in that the expected (smaller) effects of the above-mentioned interesting topics might be more or less veiled by the neglected Coulomb effects.Thus, in order to make adequate use of the high precision pd data it is of foremost importance to reliably estimate the influence of the Coulomb repulsion between the two protons, for all energies, with realistic nuclear forces.In this paper, we present the first results obtained along these lines for various pd elastic scattering observables, at an energy above the deuteron breakup threshold. For our calculations we use the screening and renormalization approach [5,6] (for a recent review, see [7]) as formulate...
