The tensor polarization t20 of the recoil deuteron in elastic e-d scattering has been measured for three values of four-momentum transfer, q=3.78, 4.22, and 4.62 fm−1. The data have been used to locate the first node in the charge monopole form factor of the deuteron at q=4.39±0.16 fm−1. The results for t20 are in reasonable agreement with expectations based on the nucleon-meson description of nuclear dynamics.Received 28 May 1991DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.67.173©1991 American Physical Society
