Abstract
An experiment is described for measuring the lifetime of the 60-keV state in 237Np which is populated in the α decay of 241Am. The technique used is the delayed coincidence method using a time-to-pulse-height converter. Advantages of this experiment for use in an advanced undergraduate laboratory course are discussed.
