Recoil proton polarization observables were measured for both the p(e→,e′p→) and d(e→,e′p→)n reactions at two values of Q2 using a newly commissioned proton focal plane polarimeter at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center. The hydrogen and deuterium spin-dependent observables Dℓℓ and Dℓt, the induced polarization Pn, and the form factor ratio GEp/GMp were measured under identical kinematics. The deuterium and hydrogen results are in good agreement with each other and with the plane-wave impulse approximation (PWIA).
