Photoneutron fine structure in $sup 208$Pb and multipole resonance

We have observed more than fifty peaks between 400 keV and 4 MeV in photoneutron spectra of $sup 208$Pb. Transitions occur to the ground state and first two excited states of $sup 207$Pb from discrete absorption features, some of which are less than 100 keV wide even above 11 MeV. Three states, the most prominent of which is at 9.034 MeV, under lie a controversial electron-scattering resonance, supporting an E2 rather than E0 interpretation. (AIP)
