We have measured the high-energy gamma-ray spectra from the fusion reaction
s 130 MeV O-16 + Mo-98 and 240 MeV Ti-48 + Ni-64, populating the Sn-114 and
Sn-112 compound nuclei at the excitation energy of 110 MeV. The comparison
of the spectra shows a similar to 36% enhancement of the gamma-ray yield i
n the Giant Dipole Resonance region (E gamma greater than or equal to 8 MeV
) when the O-16-induced reaction is considered. This enhancement is interpr
eted as due to entrance channel effects related to the N/Z asymmetry betwee
n the target and the projectile.
