Accurate determination of the neutron capture cross sections of radioactive nuclei is required in the fields of nuclear waste transmutation study and also nuclear astrophysics. The accurate neutron-nucleus reaction measurement instrument (ANNRI), which was installed in the materials and life science experimental facility (MLF) at the J-PARC, is expected to satisfy these demands. The capture cross section of $$^{241}$$Am was measured using a high efficiency Ge spectrometer installed in the ANNRI. By taking advantage of its high $$gamma$$-ray energy resolution, background components were precisely subtracted. The capture cross section of $$^{241}$$Am was deduced for a neutron energy region between 0.01 and 20 eV. The obtained cross section and the Westcott factor are compared with the preceding experiments and evaluated values.
