Abstract
Coupled-channels (cc) analyses of n-208Pb scattering have been performed at 8.5, 9.0, 9.5 and 10 MeV using the cc code ECIS. Elastic and inelastic differential cross-section and total cross-section neutron data were analysed. Central potential strengths were obtained from one-channel analyses of neutron total cross sections; the remaining model parameters were published proton values. We find that all low-lying collective states of 208Pb must be included in the cc calculations, even the low-energy octupole resonance, and that a first-order vibrational model provides a very good description of these data.
