Abstract

The absorption spectrum of lead vapor in the range 320-1070 A has been obtained. More than 60 transitions have been found, mostly arrangable in series, which are due to excitation of either a 5d or 6s electron. Pronounced inter-channel interactions have been observed. The results indicate the applicability method for 6s excitation. The comparatively low energy of the double ionization threshold results in quenching of all but one 5d excitation series.
