According to the Brink-Axel hypothesis, the photon strength function (PSF) is independent of the detailed structure of initial and final states, and thus independent of level energies, spins, and parities involved. Upward (excitation) and downward (deexcitation) PSF are thus expected to be the same. However, for 96Mo, significant discrepancies were observed [1] in several experiments. To study the observed discrepancies, we performed an experiment on 96Mo at HIγS using a new method [2] that allows for the simultaneous measurement of upward and downward PSF in a single nuclear resonance fluorescence experiment with γγ coincidences. First results will be discussed.
