Three precise measurements for elastic $pd$ scattering at $135\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/A$ have been performed with the three different experimental setups. The cross sections are described well by theoretical predictions based on modern nucleon-nucleon forces combined three-nucleon forces. Relativistic Faddeev calculations show that relativistic effects restricted to backward angles. This result supports two recently reported RIKEN and contradicts KVI data.
