The half-life of the beta-decay of 198Au has been measured for room
temperature and 12 K. The resulting values of T(RT) = 2.684 +- 0.004 d and T(12
K) = 2.687 +- 0.005 d agree well within statistical uncertainties. An evidence
for a temperature dependence of the half-life was not observed.Comment: accepted for publication in Eur. Phys. J.
