Keywords:Nuclear transmutation, Neutron capture cross section, Covariance, Gamma-ray strength function, Gamma-ray spectrum, Pulse height spectrum, Minor actinide

Evaluation of gamma-ray strength function was made based on pulse height spectra measured with NaI(Tl) detector of ANNRI in MLF at J-PARC, in order to improve the accuracy of capture cross section of long-lived minor actinides in fast neutron energy region. We will report evaluation results of neutron capture cross section and covariance with the evaluated gamma-ray strength function.
