TL;DR
reference values and graphs
Regarding the electrical permittivity of the metal in a high frequency regime, I cannot find research material related to the lead dielectric function (PD). I can't get the matatrial as values, I'll let you comment on that. I know that Pd can inhibit the amount of gamma rays in the x-ray case, but I would like to know about values related to that.

Could you explain a bit more? What does PD stand for? Is Pd Palladium? By lead, do you mean the element?

Right. So you want the dielectric function of lead or Pb (not Pd).

The best way might be to look at EELS-spectra (Electron energy loss spectra). They can give you a good estimate of the dielectric function of metals, I believe.
Google "EELS Atlas". Might help.
Otherwise there should be optical measurements, but I don't know so much about that.
