4843 keV states inPb208

The linear polarization of the resonantly produced 4843 keV radiation from ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ has been remeasured, and the results are inconsistent with either a pure E1 or M1 transition. A comparison of self-absorption and scattering results suggests two levels with widths of about 2.5 eV. It is proposed that one has as $1^{-}$ and the other a $1^{+}$ character.
