Abstract Measurements of the neutron capture cross sections of 107Pd were carried out at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). Gamma-rays were detected with an NaI(Tl) spectrometer of the Accurate Neutron–Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI). The neutron capture cross sections were determined by the time-of-flight method in the neutron energy region from the thermal to keV energies.
