Abstract
Measurements of states excited by nuclear resonance fluorescence in Np237 were performed using a bremsstrahlung beam. Fifteen new states were observed in the region of 1.7 to 2.5 MeV. They can be used to detect or assay Np237 nondestructively for applications in security and safeguards. The states are populated with similar strength as those states found previously in U235 and Pu239 but are spread out more in energy.
