The double isovector giant state has been observed in the ({pi}{sup {minus}}, {pi}{sup +}) {Delta}T{sub z} = +2 double-charge-exchange reaction on {sup 13}C, {sup 27}Al, {sup 40}Ca, {sup 56}Fe, {sup 59}Co, and {sup 93}Nb. The resonances observed in the ({pi}{sup {minus}}, {pi}{sup +}) reaction are closely related via Coulomb displacement energy and isospin symmetry to the resonances measured in the inverse ({pi}{sup +}, {pi}{sup {minus}}) reaction on the same nuclei. The new observations provide a direct determination of the upper isospin component of the double giant dipole state, which is generally very weak in the ({pi}{sup +}, {pi}{sup {minus}}) reaction. The comparison between the double dipole in the two double-charge-exchange modes gives valuable information on the isospin splitting and the Pauli-blocking effects for isotensor transitions.
