It is shown that in the range of momentum transfers available in to-day experiments, relativistic effects, meson exchange currents and the choice of nucleon electromagnetic form factors almost do not influence the value of T_20(Q^2). At the same time, this value depends strongly on the actual form of the deuteron wave function, that is on the model of NN-interaction in deuteron. So the existing data for T_20(Q^2) provide a crucial test for deuteron wave functions.11 pages, 3 figuresNuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear ExperimentDeuteron tensor polarization component T_20(Q^2) as a crucial test for deuteron wave functionstext
