Abstract
The products of photonuclear reactions induced in platinum by a 70-Mev synchrotron x-ray beam have been studied. No osmium activities were found. The iridium fraction included and and two new isotopes: a 140-min, 1-Mev emitter, probably , and a 7-min activity, probably . , , and the 88-min isotope which decays by isomeric transition were found in the platinum fraction. Some evidence is presented to question the assignment of the 88-min activity to . Relative yields of all these radioactive isotopes have been measured.
