【 摘 要 】

The deuteron is a simple, spin-1 nuclear system. This makes it an effective testbed for investigating nuclear physics. In addition, it is also relatively easy to polarize. Tensor polarization provides new opportunities to study properties of the nucleus. This is a significant part of the motivation for a polarized deuteron beam for an electron-ion collider envisioned for the future. This paper will discuss the motivation and a useful physics starting point for such a facility.
