  The gamma-rays following the reaction 105 MeV 18O + 28Si have been measured
using the EUROBALL IV, HECTOR and EUCLIDES arrays in order to investigate the
predicted Jacobi shape transition. The high-energy gamma-ray spectrum from the
GDR decay indicates a presence of large deformations in hot 46Ti nucleus, in
agreement with new theoretical calculations based on the Rotating Liquid Drop
model.
