Description

High-resolution inelastic electron scattering [full width at half-maximum (FWHM) = 38 keV] with 50-MeV electrons on 208Pb yields a width GAMMA = 1.3+-0.2 MeV for the 8.9-MeV resonance. This result together with the results from a reanalysis of older data with moderate energy resolution (FWHM approx. = 300 keV) shows that the previous identification of the 8.9-MeV resonance as a monopole excitation is not conclusive. The excitation of this state may as well be E2. The giant quadrupole resonance at 10.8 MeV seen in former measurements has been reanalyzed
