Electron scattering from tensor-polarized deuterons in the VEPP-3 electron storage ring

In this report we undertake a series of measurements at the VEPP-3 accelerator in Novosibirsk to measure the tensor analyzing power T(sub 20) out to Q(sup 2) equal to 1 GeV(sup 2). This experiment has been divided into three phases, which provide results at increasingly higher momentum transfers. In addition to the physics goals, this work is notable in that it represents the first use of polarized atoms in a storage tube as an internal target in an electron storage ring. 15 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs
