Abstract :
The characteristics of a polarimeter to measure the tensor polarization of deuterons with energy of a few GeV have been studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The analyzing reaction is forward elastic dp scattering. The results of the simulation have been verified with a prototype hydrogen cell and a recoil proton detector using drift tubes inserted in the polarimeter POMME. The test used a vector and tensor polarized deuteron beam of 1.6 GeV kinetic energy at the accelerator Saturne. The feasability of a vector and tensor deuteron high-energy polarimeter based on deuteron–proton elastic scattering reaction has been studied. We present here the prediction of a Monte Carlo simulation and the first results of a test made with a prototype, at the Saturne National Laboratory.
