Neutron Scattering study has been carried out in order to reveal the magnetic structure of the antiferromagnet HoPd, which shows giant magnetocaloric effect. We observed short rage magnetic order at k=0.18, 0.18, 0.18 above the antiferromagnetic transition temperature . TbPd also showed magnetic short range correlation above the temperature higher than 2.
