The double isovector giant dipole state has been observed in the ({pi}{sup {minus}},{pi}{sup +}){Delta}{ital T}{sub {ital x}}=+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.
