  Spin-dependent observables in intermediate-energy $pd$ elastic scattering
within the framework of the refined Glauber model are considered. The
improvements include an account of all ten $pp$ and $pn$ helicity amplitudes at
respective energies constructed on the basis of modern phase-shift analysis,
accurate deuteron wave functions taken from the modern $NN$ force model and
account of charge-exchange effects. Predictions of the refined diffraction
model for the differential cross section and analyzing powers are compared with
exact three-body Faddeev calculations and the recent experimental data. An
amazingly good agreement between the results of both theoretical approaches as
well as between the refined Glauber model and experiment in a wide angular
range not only for differential cross section but also for vector and tensor
analyzing powers has been found in the first time. Possible reasons for this
agreement are discussed.
