The [sup 209]Bi([ital [rvec p]],[alpha])[sup 206]Pb reaction has been studied at an incident proton energy of 22 MeV using a polarized proton source and a quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole spectrometer. The differential cross sections and asymmetries for transitions to levels of [sup 206]Pb up to an excitation energy of 5.333 MeV have been measured. Evidence for the presence of multiplets of [sup 206]Pb states homologous to the parent [sup 205]Tl states is discussed. The differential cross sections and asymmetries for the transitions to these homologous states are interpreted in terms of the experimental differential cross sections and asymmetries of the parent states as well as by theoretical calculations using both conventional Woods-Saxon and double-folded [alpha]-particle potentials. The differential cross sections and asymmetries for the low-energy states of [sup 206]Pb which involve the pickup of the [ital h][sub 9/2] proton outside the closed shell are analyzed.
