Abstract
Recently it was emphasized once again that the use of the free gas model instead of the
harmonic crystal model at the experimental analysis stage could introduce non-negligible
errors in the deduced neutron resonance paramerters. In the present paper we will show how
the use of the harmonic crystal model can a€ect the resonance parameters of 237Np bound in
NpO
Belgium. Further using the harmonic crystal model at the experimental analysis stage we
