Abstract
This Letter reports the first measurement of tensor polarization () in elastic scattering and also measurements of the elastic-scattering cross section at 180°. The measurements were performed using the low-energy pion channel at Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility and a novel high-efficiency deuteron polarimeter. The result of the polarization measurement, at MeV, is in disagreement with all theoretical predictions.
