Transfer-induced fission fragment angular distribution measurements have been carried out in ⁶Li + ²³⁸U reaction at beam energies of 36 and 40 MeV in coincidence with projectile-like fragments. The fission fragment anisotropies for α- and deuteron-transfer-induced fission reactions are obtained with respect to the recoil direction. The anisotropy values for transfer-induced fissions are observed to be either similar or lower than the inclusive measurement. In order to quantitatively understand the present experimental data on transfer-induced fission, anisotropy values have been compared with the preequilibrium fission model considering ground-state spin of the projectile and/or target. It is found that the model predicts the inclusive and exclusive anisotropy data reasonably well.
