Reactions p(d, p)d and p(d, p)pn as a tool for studying the short-range internal structure of the deuteron

In recent years, the deuteron structure at short distances has often been treated from the point of view of nonnucleonic degrees of freedom. In this study, measurements of T-odd polarization observables by using a tensorially polarized deuteron beam and a polarized proton target or a proton polarimeter are proposed as a means for seeking quark configurations inside the deuteron.
