Description
We discuss polarization characteristics of the deuteron disintegration near the threshold energy. Due to the small relative energy of the outgoing $np$ pair, the dominant amplitude for this process is a 1+ -> 0^+ transition. Relativistic covariance requires only one electromagnetic transition form factor for this amplitude. Subsequently this leads to substantial simplifications in the formulas of the polarization observables and allows to draw conclusions independent of the details of the interaction.
