Abstract
The inelastic neutron scattering reaction has been employed to search for a 2485-keV gamma ray which has been reported as a deexciting trans ition from one of the higher-spin members of the two-phonon octupole q uartet in Pb-208. Although other states of similar spin and excitation energy are observed, no evidence for a 2485-keV gamma ray is obtained in either gamma-ray singles or gamma-gamma coincidence measurements.
