Abstract

The half life of Au¹⁹⁸ has been measured using a quartz fiber electroscope, with extreme precautions against errors due to the presence of Au¹⁹⁹ in the source. The result obtained, 2.699 ± 0.003 days, shows that other recent determinations of the Au¹⁹⁸ half life do not suffer an appreciable error from this cause.
