E0study of0+states near 5 MeV in208Pb

Strong E0 lines from the 4866 and 5237 keV $0^{+}$ states in ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ have been identified using a new high-energy conversion-electron spectrometry technique in the study of the ${}_{}{}^{207}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$(d,p${)}^{208}$Pb and ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$(p,p’ ${)}^{208}$Pb reactions at $E_{\mathrm{d}=10\mathrm{}}$ MeV and $E_{\mathrm{p}=17.3\mathrm{}}$ MeV, respectively. No evidence for an E0 transition from the expected third $0^{+}$ state was found.
