title: X- and gamma-ray emissions observed in the decay of 237Np and 233Pa.
abstract: Solvent extraction was used to prepare pure solutions of (237)Np and (233)Pa. Portions were used for liquid scintillation counting (disintegration rates) and gamma-ray spectroscopy with HPGe detectors. X- and gamma-ray intensities observed in the (237)Np decay were verified, with a new result of 15.08+/-0.04% for the 29 keV gamma-ray (5 sigma higher than previous reports). K X- and gamma-ray intensities observed in the (233)Pa decay were verified with new results for the L X-ray intensities (approximately 55% total L intensity), approximately twice previously reported total intensity.
