The inelastic electron scattering cross sections were measured in the excitation region from 9.0 MeV to 16.0 MeV of /sup 208/Pb by detection of scattered electrons in coincidence with decay neutrons. The effective momentum transfers of 0.35, 0.41, and 0.47 fm/sup -1/ were achieved by detecting the scattered electrons at an angle of 60/sup 0/ relative to the beam axis for incident beam energies of 57.0 MeV, 67.6 MeV, and 80.35 MeV respectively from the University of Illinois MUSL-2 accelerator. The decay neutrons were detected by two organic liquid scintillator detectors placed antiparallel and perpendicular to the momentum transfer axis at a distance of one meter. The gamma ray background in the neutron detectors was reduced to a very low level through both analog and digital pulse shape discrimination techniques.
