Abstract

This paper reports the first measurement of the tensor polarization

t_{20}

in

e - d

elastic scattering. The polarization of the recoil deuterons was measured for two values of momentum transfer,

q = 1.74 and 2.03

{fm}^{- 1}

, with a high-efficiency polarimeter. The results are in good agreement with reasonable models for the deuteron.
