We present experimental verification of predicted resonance structure in the energy dependence of the H+D2 reaction. Specifically we predict and observe a broad resonance in the H+D2-->HD(v(') = 0,j(') = 7)+D reaction at a collision energy of 0. 94 eV. This resonance structure is roughly Gaussian with a full width at half maximum of 0.1 eV. These results represent the first experimentally observed resonance structure in the fundamental H+H2 reaction system.
