Photon-induced reactions provide precision data on nuclear fission due to their selectivity on excitations of low multipolarity. Quasi-monochromatic polarized photon beams allow one to extract information about the transition states and channels through which the fission proceeds. To this end, the masses, total kinetic energy, and polar as well as azimuthal angular distributions of the fission fragments were measured simultaneously in a position-sensitive twin Frisch-grid ionization chamber [1]. We present first results of a pioneering ²³⁸U(γ,f) experiment at the High-Intensity γ-Ray Source (HIγS) at an excitation energy of 11.2 MeV [2].
