Experimental investigations of the three-nucleon (3N) systems at intermediate energies keeps attracting attention due to sensitivity of the observables to subtle effects of the dynamics beyond the pairwise nucleon-nucleon force, in particular the so-called three nucleon force (3NF). The data for nucleon-deuteron collisions are also considered as a tool for fine-tuning of the 3N Hamiltonian parameters in Chiral EFT. Deuteron breakup induced by proton leads to a three-body final state, characterized by a continuum of kinematic configurations. This enables detailed studies of contributions to the reaction dynamics (3NF, Coulomb interaction, relativistic effects) in the areas of their greatest visibility, and to fit the ChEFT parameters to a large and diverse database. Since several years the d-p breakup reaction studies utilize large acceptance detectors, e.g. SALAD and BINA at KVI Groningen and CCB PAS Krakow, GeWall and WASA at FZ-Juelich. Differential cross section and, in some cases, vector and tensor analyzing powers were measured over a significant part of the reaction phase space. The results of such experiments conducted over a wide range of (intermediate) beam energies will be discussed. Plans for extending the (still rather scarce) database of polarization observables for the d-p breakup reaction with an upgraded experimental setup at CCB PAS Krakow will supplement the presentation.
