Abstract
The thermal neutron capture cross section of radioactive Au198 has been measured by the activation method as 26,000 ± 1200 barns, assuming 99 barns for the thermal neutron cross section of Au197. Metallic Au197 was bombarded in fluxes up to 9 × 1013 thermal neutrons cm.−2 sec.−1 to produce a mixture of Au198 and Au199 by the successive neutron capture reactions Au197(n, γ)Au198(n, γ)Au199. The ratio of the Au199 activity to Au198 activity so produced yields σc(Au197). In a preliminary experiment, the half-life of Au199 was measured as 3.148 ± 0.010 days.
