The tensor analyzing power A yy in inclusive breakup of 9 GeV/c deuterons on carbon has been measured at the detected proton angle of 85 mr. The analyzing power remains positive at the highest measured momentum of the proton in definite contradiction with the predictions of the existing models. The vector analyzing power A y has been obtained simultaneously with A yy .

The tensor analyzing power T20 for the reaction d↑+12C→p(0°)+X has been measured in the region of proton internal momenta k in light-cone dynamics up to 1 GeV/ c. Measurements have been carried out at Dubna Synchrophasotron with polarized deuteron beam at deuteron momenta up to 9 GeV/ c. When k increases the experimental values of T20 have a tendency to approach the value ( −0.3) obtained by the calculation based on the reduced nuclear amplitude method in which the quark degrees of freedom are taken into account.

The momentum K, called momentum in light-cone dynamics, is expressed by thefollowing formula k**2=mt**2/(4*alpha*(1-alpha))-m**2,with mt**2=kt**2+m**2 wh ere kt is the proton transverse momentum.The light-cone variable alpha is the p art of the deuteron momentum carried by the proton in the infinite momentum frameand is expressed by the formula alpha=(Ep+Pp)/(Ed+Pd).
