Experimental evidence is presented for confinement resonances associated with photoabsorption by a Xe atom in a C{sub 60} cage. The giant 4d resonance in photoionization of Xe is predicted to be redistributed into four components due to multipath interference of photoelectron waves reflected by the cage. The measurements were made in the photon energy range 60-150 eV by merging a beam of synchrotron radiation with a mass/charge selected Xe-C{sub 60}{sup +} ion beam. The phenomenon was observed in the Xe-C{sub 583}{sup +} product ion channel.
