The semi-magic nucleus 219 Np was produced in the fusion reaction 187 Re (36 Ar, 4n) 219 Np at the gas-filled recoil separator SHANS (Spectrometer for Heavy Atoms and Nuclear Structure). A fast electronics system based on waveform digitizers was used in the data acquisition and the sampled pulses were processed by digital algorithms. The reaction products were identified using spatial and time correlations between the implants and subsequent α decays. According to the observed α-decay chain, an energy of E α= 9039 (40) keV and a half-life of T 1/2= 0.15− 0.07+ 0.72 ms were determined for 219 Np. The deduced proton binding energy of 219 Np fits well into the systematics, which gives another evidence of that there is no sub-shell closure at Z= 92. The influence of the N= 126 shell closure on the stability of Np isotopes is discussed within the framework of α-decay reduced widths.
