The neutron age to the 1.44-ev resonance in indium has been determined from activation measurements for a D(d,n)He3 neutron source in 99.8% heavy water. Appropriately averaged and corrected indium foil activities yield the value 119.1 ± 1.5 cm2 for the age in an infinite medium. Independent theoretical calculations for exactly this experimental arrangement all yield values in agreement with this experimental result. It appears, therefore, that there is at present no discrepancy between theory and experiment for the age of 2-3 Mev neutrons in heavy water.
