  Elastic pbar-d scattering is studied within the Glauber theory based on the
single- and double pbar-N scattering mechanisms. The full spin dependence of
the elementary pbar-N scattering amplitudes is taken into account and both the
S- and D-wave components of the deuteron are considered. The treatment of the
spin dependence is done in a (properly modified) formalism developed recently
by Platonova and Kukulin for the pd -> pd scattering process. Predictions for
differential cross sections and the spin observables A_y^d, A_y^pbar, A_xx,
A_yy are presented for antiproton beam energies between 50 and 300 MeV, using
amplitudes generated from the Nbar-N interaction model developed by the Juelich
group. Total polarized cross sections are calculated utilizing the optical
theorem. The efficiency of the polarization buildup for antiprotons in a
storage ring is investigated.
