We report on pseudo-relativistic calculations of the photoionization cross-section of Pb near the 6s{sup 2}6p {sup 2}p{sub 3/2} threshold. We have studied the interactions between the following configurations: 6p{sub 3/2}nd * 6p{sub 3/2}ns * 6p{sub 1/2}{sup {epsilon}d} and show that the structure observed by Griessmann et al. is accounted for by inclusion of the 6s6p{sup 3} configuration which introduces a Fano minimum in the calculated photoabsorption cross-section between the lowest ionization thresholds. Thus we support the suggestion by Griesmann et al. that the dramatic change in the course of the photoionization cross-section is due to a Fano type interference effect and that the uppermost levels of 6s6p{sup 3} are responsible for it. Progress in the ab initio calculation of autoionization widths and profiles of some of these odd parity J=1 resonances will be reported.
