Photofission of [Formula: see text]Th, [Formula: see text]U, [Formula: see text]Np and [Formula: see text]Pu isotopes are investigated. Modified version of Gorodisskiy approach that is developed to study the neutron-induced fission are employed to simulate fission fragment mass distribution for these isotopes in different energies. The effect of emitted neutron prior to scission point is studied. Peak to valley ratio is also extracted. Obtained results using this approach are compared with original Gorodisskiy model as well as available experimental data. Satisfactory agreement is achieved between theoretical and experimental data especially in medium and low [Formula: see text]-ray energies than original formalism of Gorodisskiy.
