Experimental data for the tensor analyzing power T_20 in the γ d →π ^- p p reaction were obtained in the photon energy range from 400 to 650 MeV, with the proton momenta in the laboratory system exceeding 400 MeV/c. The data were taken at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics using an internal tensor-polarized gas deuterium target and tagged photons. The incident photons in the photoproduction reaction γ d →π ^- p p correspond to quasi-real virtual photons generated via electron scattering in the electroproduction process e d → eπ ^- p p at small four-momentum transfer. The two final protons were detected in coincidence. The tensor analyzing power T_20 was extracted from the yield asymmetry observed upon reversal of the sign of the deuteron tensor polarization. The experimental results are compared with statistical simulations performed within the framework of a spectator model that includes interaction between the final particles. The comparison demonstrates that accounting for the interaction effects significantly improves the agreement with the data.

New measurements of the T20 component of tensor analyzing power in the reaction γd→ppπ− for photon energies 400−700 MeV are presented. The experiment was carried out on an internal tensor-polarized gas deuterium target of the VEPP-3 electron storage ring in 2023 with the use of tagged quasi-real photons and two-proton coincidence. For determination of T20, the asymmetry caused by a change of the sign of the tensor polarization of the deuteron target was measured. The new data are compared with the results of theoretical calculations based on the quasi-free approximation including πN and NN rescattering effects.

The experiment on photodisintegration of tensor polarized deuteron is in progress. It is carried out at VEPP-3 storage ring using the internal polarized gas target technique. The component T20 of the tensor analyzing power is obtained by measuring the target polarization asymmetry in the photon energy range up to 1600MeV. The energy of photons is defined by the system that tags nearly real photons developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP).

The paper presents new results for the T20 analyzing power tensor component of the γd→pnπ0 reaction in the photon energy range of 300 MeV < Eγ < 500 MeV. The experimental statistics accumulated in 2013 at the VEPP-3 accelerator-storage complex using an internal tensor-polarized gaseous deuterium target has been used. The reaction events are identified by the coincidence registration of the proton and two gamma quanta from the neutral pion decay. To determine the T20 component, the asymmetry of the yields with respect to the change in the sign of the tensor polarization of the deuterium target is measured. Experimental results are compared with the theoretical calculations for the MAID 2007 model of the amplitude used as the elementary pion-nucleon photoproduction amplitude and contributions of pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon rescattering are taken into account.

Measured values of the tensor analyzing power T20 for the coherent photoproduction of a π0-meson on a deuteron are analyzed in the region of large momentum transfer. The incident photons of the photoproduction reaction γd→dπ0 are the quasi-real virtual photons arising from the electron scattering in the electroproduction reaction ed→edπ0. The kinematic region of large momentum transfer is of particular interest, as it corresponds to small inter-nucleon distances in the deuteron. In this case, the amplitude of the process under study is noticeably sensitive to both the deuteron wave function at small inter-nucleon distances and the various model uncertainties arising from the description of the process for large momentum transfer. A comparison shows a significant discrepancy between the experimental data and the predictions from a number of theoretical models.
