Abstract
The paper describes the results obtained from a study of the bombardment of gold with deuterons of energy up to 9·1 M.e.V. The reactions found to take place in gold are the formation of 2·7 day Au198 by a (d-p) process and of 32 hr. Hg198* in a metastable state by a (d-n) process. The β-ray and γ-ray energies associated with each radioactivity have been measured by absorption methods. Excitation functions for the two reactions have been determined and the results have been compared with those to be expected on theoretical grounds.The author takes this opportunity of expressing his gratitude to the past and present members of the Cavendish Cyclotron Laboratory for assistance in running the cyclotron. He wishes to thank the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 for the award of a Science Scholarship.
