Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1733–1736 (1990)Measurement of tensor analyzing power in electron-deuteron elastic scatteringReceived 14 June 1990; published in the issue dated 1 October 1990 An internal-target technique was used to make the first measurements of the tensor analyzing power T20 of electron-deuteron elastic scattering in the four-momentum-transfer range of 2–3 fm-1. Polarized deuterium atoms were confined within a storage cell in the VEPP-3 electron storage ring in Novosibirsk to achieve a total target thickness of 3×1012 cm-2, 15 times greater than was previously possible with an atomic-beam target alone. The results for T20 are in agreement with reasonable models of the deuteron wave function. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
