Birefringence (rotation of polarization plane and spin dichroism) of deuterons in carbon target

Abstract

Birefringence phenomenon for deuteron with energy up 20 MeV in carbon target is considered. The estimation for spin dichroism and for angle of rotation of polarization plane of deuterons is presented. It is shown that magnitude of the phenomenon strongly depends on behavior of the deuteron wave functions on small distance between nucleon in deuteron.
