The direct and statistical neutron decay of the isoscalar giant dipole resonance has been studied in {sup 90}Zr, {sup 116}Sn, and {sup 208}Pb using the ({alpha}, {alpha}' n) reaction at a bombarding energy of 200 MeV. The spectra of fast decay neutrons populating valence hole states of the Z, N - 1 nuclei were analyzed, and estimates for the branching ratios were determined. The observation of the nucleon-direct-decay channels helped to select giant-resonance strengths and suppress the underlying background and continuum, which led to an indication of the existence of a new mode with L 2 character, presumably the overtone of the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance.
