The {gamma}-ray strength function method is devised to indirectly determine radiative neutron capture cross sections for radioactive nuclei. This method is applied here to the {sup 107}Pd (T{sub 1/2}=6.5x10{sup 6} yr) case. Photoneutron cross sections were measured for {sup 105,106,108}Pd near neutron threshold with quasimonochromatic laser-Compton-scattering {gamma}-ray beams. These photoneutron cross sections as well as the reverse radiative neutron capture cross sections for {sup 104,105}Pd are used to provide constraints on the {sup 107}Pd(n,{gamma}){sup 108}Pd cross section.
