Abstract

Inelastic scattering of

{}^{3}{He}

particles at 110-140 MeV from

{}^{90, 92}{Zr}

,

{}^{116, 118, 120}{Sn}

,

{}^{114}{Sm}

, and

{}^{208}{Pb}

nuclei exhibits the presence of a new giant resonance at

E_{x} \sim 118 A^{- \frac{1}{3}}

MeV with a width of about 7 MeV. The angular distributions are consistent with those for

L = 3

transfer and octupole energy-weighted sum-rule fractions of 47-95% are exhausted for the resonance.
