Polarization observables in lepton-deuteron elastic scattering including the lepton mass

Abstract

Expressions for the unpolarized differential cross section and for various polarization observables in the lepton-deuteron elastic scattering, $\ell +D\to \ell +D$, $\ell =e$, $\mu$, $\tau$, have been obtained in one-photon-exchange approximation, taking into account the lepton mass. Polarization effects have been investigated for the case of a polarized lepton beam and polarized deuteron target which can have vector or tensor polarization. Numerical estimations of the lepton mass effects have been done for the unpolarized differential cross section and for some polarization observables and applied to the case of low energy muon deuteron elastic scattering.
