Abstract
The inelastic response from liquid deuterium has been measured on a th ermal three-axis neutron spectrometer at two different temperatures. T he observed neutron scattering spectra show clear inelastic features w hich have been analysed using a damped harmonic oscillator (DHO) model . The momentum transfer dependences of the DHO frequencies and damping coefficients at each temperature are compared and related to the resu lts of the correlated density matrix formalism.
