The γ-ray strength function is an important input parameter for the calculation of nucleosynthesis processes. To study the dipole response in more detail, the γ-decay behavior of the fp shell nucleus ⁵²Cr was investigated with the high-efficiency γ³ setup at the High Intensity γ-ray Source facility at TUNL in Durham, USA. The highly intense quasi mono-energetic γ-ray beam allows for excitations selective in multipolarity (J=1 and J=2) and energy. The γ³ setup is a multi-detector array consisting of HPGe and LaBr₃ detectors with high efficiency and enables the measurement of γ-γ coincidences. Experimental results of ⁵²Cr will be presented and discussed in this contribution.
