The forward-to-backward asymmetry of neutrons emitted in the {sup 40}Ca({gamma},n{sub 0}) reaction was measured at photon energies in the range of 27{endash}50 MeV. An energy-dependent asymmetry was observed that is interpreted as evidence of interference between the isovector quadrupole resonance and the giant dipole resonance. Data analysis in terms of semiclassical and direct-semidirect models estimate the isovector quadrupole resonance to be at an excitation energy of 31.0{plus_minus}1.5 MeV, with a width of 16.0{plus_minus}1.5 MeV, and exhausting most of the energy-weighted sum rule for the isovector quadrupole resonance. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
