The giant resonance region from 10 MeV ˂ E_x ˂ 55 MeV in ⁹⁰Zr has been studied with inelastic scattering of 240 MeV α particles at small angles including 0°. The isoscalar monopole resonance was found to contain 100 ± 12% of the E0 energy weighted sum rule with a centroid of (17.81 + 0.32 − 0.20) MeV. Eighty one percent of the isoscalar E1 energy weighted sum rule was located in two peaks having E_x = (17.1 ± 0.4) and (26.7 ± 0.5) MeV, Γ = (5.4 ± 0.3) and (8.8 ± 1.0) MeV, and containing 13 ± 3% and 70 ± 10%, respectively, of the E1 energy weighted sum rule.
