The Isoscalar Giant Dipole Resonance (ISGDR) is the response of the nucleus to the second-order isoscalar dipole operator. motion). Its energy systematics are important in the determination of the nuclear incompressibility. So far, only singles experiments, using inelastic α-scattering, gave evidence for the ISGDR in a few nuclei, but they suffered from strong instrumental and nuclear-continuum backgrounds at very forward angles, and a partial overlap with the isoscalar giant octupole resonance. Presently, no experimental data are available on the decay properties of the ISGDR, which would be a crucial test for the theoretical descriptions of its microscopic structure and damping process.

Recently we performed coincidence experiments using inelastic α- scattering at 50 MeV/A searching for the direct neutron decay of the ISGDR in 208Pb, 124Sn and 90Zr. A clear indication of the presence of the direct decay component was obtained. Moreover, we exploited the advantage of the coincidence technique resulting in a considerable suppression of the background contribution. These results enabled the direct comparison with a recently published CRPA calculation.
