Formation, stability and annihilation of vacancy clusters produced during irradiation with energetic heavy ions at high temperature have been studied using gold as a model material. The experiments were carried out using a 400 kV heavy ion accelerator/200 kV TEM linked facility. In-situ observation during Xe+or Ar+irradiations at temperatures between 290 and 670 K reveals instantaneous formation of defect clusters. These include vacancy loops and stacking fault tetrahedra (SFT) with some unresolved defects with dot contrast. At lower temperatures the clusters tend to form in groups, reflecting subcascade structure, while at 570 and 670 K, ungrouped clusters are dominant. Both vacancy loops and SFT have considerably shorter lifetimes during irradiation than in the absence of irradiation. Moreover, the lifetime spectrum has two components; a long component is related to SFT, while loops usually have shorter lifetimes. By interrupting irradiation at 570 and 670 K, defects annihilate and the process has two components. Since the SFT survive longer, the SFT/loop ratio is history dependent.
