Abstract

We have searched for the giant magnetic dipole resonance in 90Zr and an associated state in 208Pb. Among the experimental techniques employed in this search was the detection of inelastically scattered protons in coincidence with ground-state de-excitation γ-rays, No state in 90Zr up to an excitation of 10.5 MeV or in 208Pb between 5.0 to 6.0 MeV was observed with the desired characteristics. In 90Zr, heretofore unidentified levels at 5.51, 5.89 and 6.42 MeV were determined to have Jπ = 1. In 208Pb Jπ = 1 states were observed at 5.29, 5.51 and 5.94 MeV. The implications of our observations are discussed.
