The results of cross-section measurements for the reactions {sup 209}Bi({sup 12}C,X)Au, E = 4.8 and 25.2 GeV and {sup 209}Bi({sup 20}Ne,X)Au, E = 8.0 GeV are reported. The observed yields of the gold isotopes show a similar dependence on mass number for each reaction, differing slightly in the position of the centroid of the distribution. As the projectile energy increases, the inferred excitation energy of the primary residues remains the same or decreases slightly. This observation is in agreement with the predictions of the intranuclear cascade model of relativistic heavy ion collisions.
