Abstract

Evidence is presented for the excitation of giant multipole resonances in inelastic scattering of 315-MeV $^{16}\mathrm{O}$ ions on $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, $^{58}\mathrm{Ni}$, and $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ targets. Highly excited modes around 20 MeV of excitation energy in $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ exhaust a large fraction of the energy-weighted isoscalar $E3$ and $E5$ sum-rule strengths.
