Abstract

Spectra of 172-MeV ..cap alpha.. scattering from /sup 208/Pb indicate in addition to giant monopole and quadrupole excitation new giant resonance structures in hadron scattering at E/sub x/=17.5 +- 0.8 and 21.3 +- 0.8 MeV with corresponding widths of 4.8 +- 0.8 and 5.9 +- 0.8 MeV. The angular distributions indicate L=3 and 1 giving rise to an interpretation as isoscalar giant octupole resonance (17.5 MeVm 60% energy-weighted sum-rule strength), and isoscalar giant dipole resonance (21.3 MeV, 90% energy-weighted sum-rule strength).
