We present experimental results for T20 component of the tensor analyzing power for incoherent π− photoproduction on a deuteron. The experiment was performed on an internal tensor-polarized gas deuterium target of the VEPP-3 electron storage ring in 2021 using the proton-proton coincidence method. The data are compared with the results of numerical simulation.
