Cross Section Measurements of the Radioactive 107Pd and Stable 105,108Pd Nuclei at J-PARC/MLF/ANNRI

The measurements of the neutron-capture cross sections were performed for the radioactive 107Pd and stable 105,108Pd nuclei by the time-of flight method using an apparatus called “Accurate Neutron–Nucleus Reaction measurement Instrument (ANNRI)” installed at the neutron Beam Line No.4 of the Materials and Life science experimental Facility (MLF) in the J-PARC. The neutron-capture cross sections of 107Pd and 105,108Pd have been measured in the low energy region from the thermal to a few hundreds eV. From the measurements, new information was obtained for some resonances of these Pd nuclei.
