Mechanisms for the production of {sup 1}S{sub 0} diproton pairs, {l_brace}pp{r_brace}{sub s}, in the pd{yields}{l_brace}pp{r_brace}{sub s}n reaction are studied at proton beam energies 0.5-2 GeV in kinematics similar to those of backward elastic pd scattering. This reaction provides valuable information on the short-range NN and pd interactions that is complementary to that investigated in the well-known pd{yields}dp and dp{yields}p(0{sup degree})X processes. The pd{yields}{l_brace}pp{r_brace}{sub s}n reaction is related to the subprocesses {pi}{sup 0}d{yields}pn and pN{yields}{l_brace}pp{r_brace}{sub s}{pi} using two different one-pion-exchange (OPE) diagrams. Within both these models a reasonable agreement could be obtained with the data below 1 GeV. The similar energy dependence of the pd{yields}{l_brace}pp{r_brace}{sub s}n and pd{yields}dp cross sections and the small ratio of about 1.5% in the production of {l_brace}pp{r_brace}{sub s} to deuteron final states follow naturally within the OPE models.
