The data from the first measurement, performed at ANKE/COSY, of the unpolarized cross-section of the reaction in the kinematics of backward elastic
scattering at proton beam energies between 0.6 and 1.9 GeV are analyzed in a phenomenological approach. The
data and the triplet cross-section of the reaction
, calculated from the
data on the basis of the Fäldt-Wilkin extrapolation, are used here to derive the ratio
of the singlet production matrix element squared to the triplet one. This ratio, defined in our earlier analysis of
data in a largely model-independent way, depends on the dynamics of the pd interaction. We find here
and show that the smallness of this value may point toward softness of the deuteron at short NN distances.
