One of the tools to study spin structure of short range correlations (SRCs) and three nucleon forces is the measurement of the polarization observables. Deuteron induced reactions at intermediate energies are investigated at Internal Target Station (ITS) of Nuclotron through the dp elastic and dp → ppn reactions. Analyzing powers iT11 and T20 analyzing powers of dp → ppn reaction at 400 MeV are presented.

Deuteron spin structure program is aimed on extraction of two and three nucleon forces information, including their spin dependent parts, from dp elastic and dp breakup processes investigated at intermediate energies. The dp elastic data were obtained at Internal Target Station of Nuclotron (JINR) in the energy range 400-1800 MeV using polarized deuteron beam. Strong sensitivity to the short range spin structure of the isoscalar nucleon-nucleon correlations is observed in deuteron analyzing powers. Preliminary results of the the cross section for the dp breakup reaction have been obtained at 400 MeV of deuteron energy.
