The study of the γ-ray strength function (γSF) is important for correct theoretical predictions of nucleosynthesis processes. In the fp shell an unexpected low-energy enhancement of the γSF was observed [1]. To study this low-energy enhancement in more detail the γ-decay behavior of the fp shell nucleus 52Cr was investigated with the high-efficiency γ3 setup [2] at the High Intensity γ-ray Source facility at TUNL in Durham, USA, which provides selective excitation in multipolarity (mainly dipole) and energy (quasi mono-energetic). The γ3 setup consists of an array of HPGe and LaBr3 detectors with high efficiency and enables the measurement of γ-γ coincidences. First experimental results will be presented and discussed in this contribution.
