A Lomb periodogram analysis is applied to charged particle data from the LEMMS/CHEMS instruments on the Cassini spacecraft. The data represent count rates, averaged within 30 min bins, from electrons (28-330 keV) and protons and oxygen ions (2.8-236 keV) during 350 days in 2005 and all 365 days in 2006. Sun effects, spacecraft maneuvers, and measurements within 20 RS of Saturn were removed from the data prior to analysis. The main peaks in the frequency periodograms (or power spectra) were found within a frequency window from 9.5 hours to 12.5 hours. For signal-to-noise ratios exceeding 8, the periodograms within this window reveal a consistent peak near 10.80 hours (10 hours 48 min 36 sec) for all the charged particles regardless of energy or species. Even for lower signal-to-noise ratios, a peak near this period is generally present. The Lomb analyses are consistent with an azimuthal anomaly that rotates with a period of 10.80 hours.
