X- and {gamma}-ray emission probabilities from the {beta}{sup -} decay of {sup 233}Pa were measured with planar (LEPS) and coaxial Ge detectors. A {sup 233}Pa source was produced after radiochemical separation from a {sup 237}Np sample in which the parent ({sup 237}Np) and daughter ({sup 233}Pa) nuclides were in secular equilibrium. The results are compared with previous measurements and data evaluations.
