Abstract: The results of measurements and the handling procedure of data on the tensor polarization of the deuteron beam arising as the beam passes through matter obtained at the Nuclotron during the June 2008 run using an extracted unpolarized 5 GeV/c deuteron beam are described. The effect observed is compared with calculations made in the framework of the Glauber multiple-scattering theory.
