Abstract

Cross sections and tensor analyzing powers in $dp$ elastic scattering, measured at 35 and 45 MeV, are used to determine the asymptotic $D$ - to $S$ -state ratio of the deuteron wave function. The results agree with the value determined at lower energies and provide a considerably more precise averaged value: $ρ_{D} = 0.0263 \pm 0.0013$ .
