Materials possessing strong midinfrared responses are of current interest because of their potential application to long-wavelength metamaterials, photonic devices, molecular detection, and catalysis. In this work, we utilize high-energy resolution (80 cm^-1, 10 meV) electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a monochromated and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to resolve multipolar surface plasmon resonances (SPRs), sometimes called Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonances, in gold nanowires with mode energies spanning from ~1000 to 8000 cm^-1. STEM-EELS provides access to these mid- to near-IR responses in a single acquisition, avoiding the difficulties inherent in obtaining the same data using near-field optical techniques. The experimentally measured FP resonance energies and linewidths, together with analytical modeling and full-wave numerical electrodynamics simulations, provide a comprehensive picture of the radiative and intrinsic contributions to the total damping rates. We find some FP modes with dephasing times >60fs, which is almost twice the longest previously reported plasmon dephasing time for individual Au nanoparticles in the infrared. The long dephasing times and the broad tunability of the FP resonance energies throughout the infrared region suggest additional opportunities for harnessing infrared plasmonic energy before dephasing occurs.
