Description

Highlights: •The capture cross sections of 107Pd were measured with an NaI(Tl) spectrometer. •Measurements were performed at J-PARC/MLF/ANNRI. •The accelerator was run in a special operational mode called "single bunch" mode. •The capture cross sections of 107Pd were derived from the thermal to keV energies. -- 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.
