We investigate coherent π 0-photoproduction on the deuteron near threshold with special emphasis on beam-target double spin asymmetries. We present results for the spin asymmetries T c 1M (M = 0, 1) for circular polarized photons and vector polarized deuterons, T c 2M (M = 1, 2) for circular polarized photons and tensor polarized deuterons, T l 1M (M = 0, ±1) for longitudinal polarized photons and vector polarized deuterons, and T l 2M (M = 0, ±1, ±2) for longitudinal polarized photons and tensor polarized deuterons in the γ d → π 0 d reaction near threshold. We also discuss the sensitivity of the estimated results to the D-wave component of the deuteron wave function. The unitary isobar MAID-2007 model is used for the elementary γ N → πN amplitude. This model is parameterized in terms of invariant amplitudes and allows one to give a more reliable description of the threshold region. The realistic and high-precision Bonn NN potential (full model) is used for the deuteron wave function. We have found that the D-wave component of the deuteron wave function has a little effect on the T c 1M (M = 0, 1) and T l 2M (M = 0, 1, 2) spin asymmetries. On the contrary, we have obtained a significant role of the D-wave component on the spin asymmetries T c 2M (M = 1, 2), T l 1M (M = 0, ±1), and T l 2M (M = −1, −2).
