Abstract
The authors present new measurements of isotopic shifts and hyperfine structure in the lead resonance line for a total of 15 isotopes. The experimental accuracy is of order 4 MHz. Using independent measurements of the nuclear parameter lambda for the stable isotopes they have derived lambda for all measured isotopes. The derived values of lambda are compared with various theoretical predictions for the lead nuclei. The authors also give values for the nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments deduced from the measurements.
