The measurement of DD neutron yield by activation is presented. This method is based on the inelastic scattering reaction of 115In with DD neutron, and the activated spectrum is counted by HPGe detector. The relation between the counts of detected rays and the neutron yield is analyzed. The optimal thickness of sample is given by Monte Carlo simulation, which is 1 cm. The entire counting system has been calibrated on the K-400 accelerator. The result shows that the DD neutron measurement by indium activation can be used in the ICF experiment when the neutron yield is above 2109. The total error of the system is below 10% in this condition. The total error will reduce when the neutron yield is larger.
