In the two-neutron-transfer reaction of a 200-MeV $$^{18}$$O beam with a $$^{238}$$U target, deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in a neutron-rich nucleus of $$^{240}$$U were measured. The $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{240}$$U were identified by taking coincidence with $$^{16}$$O, using Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. The kinetic energies of $$^{16}$$O particles allowed us to select the excitation energies of $$^{240}$$U below the neutron separation energy. The ground-state band and the $$K^{pi}=0^{-}$$ octupole band of $$^{240}$$U were established up to 12$$^{+}$$ and 9$$^{-}$$, respectively. The octupole-band head of $$^{240}$$U is higher than those of $$^{236,238}$$U by about a hundred keV, suggesting that a secondary maximum of octupole correlations exists at $$N=144-146$$ in U isotopes.
