Measurement of the tensor analyzing power components in the coherent photoproduction of a π 0 meson on a deuteron

The components of the tensor analyzing powers, T20, T21, and T22, of the coherent photoproduction of a π0 meson on a deuteron have been measured for photon energies of 250–450 MeV and pion emission angles of 90°–145°. The results are compared with the theoretical predictions.
