Excitation functions have been measured for elastic scattering of polarized protons from /sup 206/Pb and /sup 208/Pb, and for inelastic scattering to collective states in /sup 206/Pb(2/sup +/, 0.8033 MeV; 3/sup -/, 2.647 MeV) and /sup 208/Pb(3/sup -/, 2.6145 MeV). Both differential cross sections and analyzing powers were measured at theta/sub lab/ = 120/sup 0/, 135/sup 0/, 150/sup 0/, and 165/sup 0/, for E/sub p/ = 14.25 to 18 MeV. Fits to the excitation-function data were obtained using scattering amplitudes consisting of sums of resonant and nonresonant parts. The resonances are the isobaric analogs (IARs) of 7 low-lying states in /sup 209/Pb and 35 in /sup 207/Pb. The fits to the elastic-scattering data are excellent; for the inelastic scattering the fit is very good for the 2/sup +/ state but only fair for the 3/sup -/ states. For each IAR, the energy, the total width, and the partial width and mixing phase in each channel were obtained. Also, new spin assignments were made for a number of parent states in /sup 207/Pb. The theory of Bund and Blair was used to find the spectroscopic amplitudes, which provide information on the wave functions for the parent states in /sup 207/Pb and /sup 209/Pb and for the 3/sup -/ states in /sup 206/Pb and /sup 208/Pb. These spectroscopic amplitudes were then checked for internal consistency and compared with the results of other experiments and with theoretical predictions.
