Description: The photofission cross section, of <math>U^{238}\,\!</math> induced by monochromatic and polarized photons has been measured using the LADON facility at the Frascati National Laboratory. The experiment has been performed at six different energies in the range 46-72 MeV by detecting the fission fragments either in uranium-loaded nuclear-track emulsion plates or in uranium-mica sandwiches. Results are consistent with existing data, however they suggest the opportunity of further investigation in this energy range.
