In Organic Chemistry what does/is DBr?

Can anyone tell me what DBr stands for? I have to determine the products from a reaction involving 1,3-hexadiene with DBr?

Answer:
All that means is you have to keep track of where the hydrogen that came from the HBr came from. That H is "labeled" with an additional neutron. This might sound like a contrived problem but this kind of experiment is done with regularity to learn more about mechanisms. You can see where the D goes by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
deuterium bromide
DBr is deuterium bromide. It it basically the deuterated form of hydrobromic acid (HBr)
