Actually less than that because only around 10% of the gold created this way (assuming a natural distribution of Hg isotopes) would be stable, so you’d get a bunch of β particles too. I don’t even know how Au-201 would act, and it would comprise 30% of the output.

roguetrick ( @roguetrick@kbin.social ) 3•9 months agoIt decays in like 40 minutes or something back into mercury. If you do it again you get a whole 2 days before, you guessed it, straight to mercury. We have the best elements in the world thanks to mercury.

nothacking ( @nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•9 months agoFake. The resulting Au201 and Au199 will promptly turn back into mercury. But, if you instead pull of a few neutrons to make Hg197, it will decay in a few days to stable Au197, along with a free neutrino.
