A sample of 237Np was irradiated in the guided cold neutron beam of the PGAA-NIPS facility at the Budapest Research Reactor to acquire data on its characteristic prompt gamma rays such as energies and relative intensities. A first evaluation of the obtained data showed significant differences from data reported in the evaluated nuclear structure data file (ENSDF) catalog.
