The obtained experimental GDR strength function is highly fragmented, with a low energy (10 MeV) component, indicating a presence of a large deformation and Coriolis effects. In addition, the preferential feeding of the highly-deformed band in 42Ca by this GDR low energy component is observed.6 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of the Zakopane2004 Symposium, to be published in Acta Phys.
