We present the preliminary value of the measurement of the parity violating asymmetry in the cross section of quasi-elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons on deuteron at backward angles at Q{sup 2} = 0.23. The preliminary asymmetry is A{sub PV}{sup d}(Q{sup 2} = 0.23) = (−20.77±0.84{sub stat}±1.23{sub syst})10{sup −6}. From this value a preliminary linear combination of the G{sub M}{sup s} and the isovector axial form factor G{sub A} can be extracted G{sub A}{sup T = 1}+0.59G{sub M}{sup s} = −0.53±0.37±0.02. Combining this preliminary linear combination with that extracted from the measurement of the parity violating asymmetry on proton, already publish, it is possible to disentagle the form factors and thus we can obtain a preliminary experimental determination of the isovector axial form factor G{sub A}{sup T = 1} = −0.43±0.46.
