Popis: The photon decay of the relativistic Coulomb excitation of the single and double giant dipole resonance (GDR) in the target has been observed in the system 1A GeV $^{209}\mathrm{Bi}$ on $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$. For peripheral events which are dominated by relativistic Coulomb excitation, a large Lorentzian structure in the photon energy spectrum is peaked at 13.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1 MeV with a width of 4.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1 MeV, corresponding to the single GDR in the $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ target. The sum energy of coincident \ensuremath{\gamma}-\ensuremath{\gamma} pairs shows a broad feature at 25.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.9 MeV with a Lorentzian width of 5.8\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.1 MeV, which we assign to the double GDR observed via the two-\ensuremath{\gamma} decay channel.
