A formalism is developed to treat some of the effects of a hypothetical breakdown of parity and time-reversal invariance in the proton-proton interaction. It is shown how the usual parametrization of the S-matrix (in terms of phase shifts and mixing parameters) must be extended to include a description of such violations. Some of the experiments which could detect these violations, if they existed, are discussed, and the general form of the p-p potential is extended. An appendix applies the formalism to two experiments testing time-reversal invariance. (auth)
