Highly excited neutron hole states in [sup 207]Pb have been studied via the ([ital [rvec d]],[ital t]) reaction at [ital E][sub [ital d]]=200 MeV using for the first time a polarized beam, with both vector and tensor components. The determination of overlapping neutron hole response functions takes advantage of the strong characteristic features of [ital j][sub [minus]]=[ital l][minus]1/2 versus [ital j][sub +]=[ital l]+1/2 level analyzing powers and of the good distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) description of the reaction. A least-squares fit analysis of the [sigma], [ital A][sub [ital y]], and [ital A][sub [ital y][ital y]] angular distributions has allowed a determination of the high [ital j] transition spectroscopic factors contributing to the excitation energy bins up to [ital E][sub [ital x]]=14.5 MeV. The results are compared in details with those relying only on [ital l] identification, previously obtained in the 1[ital i][sub 13/2] and 1[ital h][sub 9/2] valence state fragmentation up to [ital E][sub [ital x]]=6.7 MeV and on the 1[ital h][sub 11/2] strength up to [similar to]10 MeV. Several previous conclusions are unambiguously confirmed, in particular, the attribution of the bump around [ital E][sub [ital x]]=8.2 MeV to the 1[ital h][sub 11/2] strength. In addition, the present experiment settles the attributions of several [ital j][sub [minus]] versus [ital j][sub +] valence groups and indicates that the 1[ital h][sub 9/2] strength is spread up to [similar to]10.8 MeV.
