Abstract

The frozen spin method can be effectively used for a high-precision measurement of the tensor electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the deuteron and other nuclei in storage rings. For the deuteron, this method would provide the determination of the deuteron's polarizabilities with absolute precision of order of $10^{-43}$ cm$^3$.
