Tensor observables in electro- and photoreactions on the deuteron

摘要

The study of polarization effects in reactions with a simplest nucleus, deuteron, plays an important role for the investigation of deuteron structure as well as for the research of the properties of the strong interaction. However, data on the tensor observables in the electro- and photoreactions with deuteron appeared not so long ago. We present here a brief overview of the experiments on three such reactions with a deuteron: elastic scattering, photodisintegration and coherent photoproduction of the neutral pion.
