The neutron capture cross section of 237Np has been measured relative to the 10B(n,{alpha})7Li* cross section in the energy range from 0.02 to 100 eV. The measurements were carried out by the time-of-flight method using the 8.54-liter BGO scintillator as a 4{pi} capture gamma-ray detector and the 46-MeV Linac as a pulsed neutron source. The results of present measurements have been compared with experimental data of other authors and evaluated data.
