We report the measurement of the beam-vector and tensor asymmetries A V ed and A T d in quasielastic ð ⃗e; e 0 pÞ electrodisintegration of the deuteron at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center up to missing momentum of 500 MeV=c. Data were collected simultaneously over a momentum transfer range 0.1 < Q 2 < 0.5 ðGeV=cÞ 2 with the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid using an internal deuterium gas target polarized sequentially in both vector and tensor states. The data are compared with calculations. The beam-vector asymmetry A V ed is found to be directly sensitive to the D-wave component of the deuteron and has a zero crossing at a missing momentum of about 320 MeV=c, as predicted. The tensor asymmetry A T d at large missing momentum is found to be dominated by the influence of the tensor force in the neutron-proton final-state interaction. The new data provide a strong constraint on theoretical models. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.182501 Understanding the structure and properties of the nucleon-nucleon system is a cornerstone of nuclear physics. Classic studies of the properties of the bound state (the deuteron), like the magnetic and quadrupole moments, have elucidated the nonrelativistic S-and D-state wave function components. However, modern polarized beams and targets provide new tools to revisit this subject to provide more stringent tests of our understanding. Spindependent quasielastic ð ⃗e; e 0 pÞ electron scattering from both vector and tensor polarized deuterium provides unique access to the orbital angular momentum structure of the deuteron, which is inaccessible in unpolarized scattering [1]. The combination of a pure, highly polarized gas target internal to a storage ring with an intense, highly polarized electron beam and a large acceptance detector allows the simultaneous measurement of the asymmetries as a function of initial-state proton momentum and momentum transfer. To see the direct effects of the D state, initial-state momenta up to 500 MeV=c are required. Further, nucleonnucleon correlations with high relative momenta are known to play a significant role in nuclear structure [2]. The tensor force between the neutron and proton can be probed via final-state interaction (FSI) effects in spin-dependent quasielastic 2 Hð ⃗e; e 0 pÞ at large initial-state momenta [3,4]. In this Letter, we report on new measurements of the vector and tensor asymmetries in quasielastic ð ⃗e; e 0 pÞ scattering from deuterium over a broad range of kinematics and compare with theoretical calculations.The deuteron's simple structure enables reliable calculations to be performed in sophisticated theoretical frameworks. These calculations use nucleon-nucleon potentials as input, which show that the ground-state wave function is
