The initial objective of this work was an updated review on the Am isotopes data since the next official release (3.1) of the JEFF3 evaluated data file is foreseen around June 2005. Alternatively, this work searches for the possible reasons of the observed discrepancies between differential and integral measurement results. In particular, strong differences are encountered on {sigma}{sub {gamma}}{sup th} values and epithermal branching ratio values for the 241Am. Although the JEF2.2 validation is used as guide in parallel with a systematic study of all differential and integral results available, the need for new measurements clearly shows up. This paper finally draws up a list of desired and feasible new differential and integral measurements on the Am isotopes.
