QED corrections in deep-inelastic scattering from tensor-polarized deuteron target

The leading-log model-independent radiative corrections to deep-inelastic s cattering of an unpolarized electron beam from the tensor-polarized deutero n target have been considered. The calculation is based on the covariant pa rameterization of the deuteron quadrupole polarization tensor and the use o f the Drell-Yan-like representation in electrodynamics to describe the radi ation of real and virtual particles by the initial and scattered electron.
