Double-scattering measurements were made which yielded all parameters necessary to describe completely the interaction of the deuteron with complex nuclei. Deuterons of 410 and 420 Mev were scattered from beryllium and carbon, respectively. Tensor components of polarization, which should appear in the scattering of spin-1 particles and which were unobservable at low energies, were determined to be appreciably different from zero. The usual vector spin polarizatlon normal to the plane of scattering was found to reach a maximum of about 70%. The impulse approximation was employed to obtain estimates of deuteron cross section and polarization on the basis of nucleon scattering data. (auth)
