Annotation

An experiment on irradiation of the $^{197}$Au isotope by a beam of bremsstrahlung $\gamma$-rays of maximum energy $E_{\gamma}^{m}=70$ MeV has been carried out at the RTM-70 race-track microtron of the INP MSU. Residual activity spectra of the irradiated sample were measured. Multiparticle photonuclear reactions on the $^{197}$Au nucleus are observed. Photonuclear reactions with emission of as many as six neutrons are observed for the first time.
