The inelastic scattering of neutrons by liquid /sup 3/He at 0.2 K and saturated vapor pressure has been measured for momentum transfers in the range 10 A/sup -1/<16 A/sup -1/. The observed scattering function is well described, within statistical uncertainties, by a Gaussian centered at the recoil energy. The average kinetic energy per atom, obtained from the width of the scattering function, is 8.1/sub -1.3//sup +1.7/ K.
