A magnetization density study by means of polarized-neutron scattering on the intermetallic compound 
is reported. belongs to the large 
(An = U, Np, Pu, Am; T = transition metal; X = In, Sn) family of compounds crystallizing in an ordered variant of the tetragonal 
type of structure (space group 
). does not order magnetically but has a large magnetic susceptibility that qualifies it as an enhanced paramagnet or spin fluctuator. We report single-crystal magnetization measurements that show a significant magnetic anisotropy, with a c-axis susceptibility exceeding that measured on the basal plane by a factor of four. The magnetization density distribution in the unit cell was measured at 2 K by polarized-neutron scattering under a magnetic field of 5.5 T applied parallel to the c-axis. It was found that the major contribution to the magnetic susceptibility is located on the U atoms 
but a small response from the Co atoms is also measured
