The tensor polarization {ital t}{sub 20} of the recoil deuteron in elastic {ital e}-{ital d} scattering has been measured for three values of four-momentum transfer, {ital q}=3.78, 4.22, and 4.62 fm{sup {minus}1}. The data have been used to locate the first node in the charge monopole form factor of the deuteron at {ital q}=4.39{plus minus}0.16 fm{sup {minus}1}. The results for {ital t}{sub 20} are in reasonable agreement with expectations based on the nucleon-meson description of nuclear dynamics.
