The particle and gamma decay from Nd-142 nuclei produced at E* = 150 MeV by O-16 + Te-126 and Ne-22 + Sn-120 reactions were studied. The measured gamma ray spectra were analyzed to derive the GDR centroid and width parameters, which were found to be the same for both systems. No entrance channel effects were seen in the particle and gamma emission spectra in these systems.
