Description

High-spin states in 181Ta have been studied via the 176Yb(11B,α2n) reaction at 52 MeV using the PEX array and at 57 MeV using the NORDBALL array, with α-particle detection. The previously known, Kπ=7/2+ ground state band and Kπ=9/2- band have been extended to spins 29/2+ and 31/2-, respectively. Two new one-quasiparticle bands, the Kπ=5/2+ band built on the known 5/2+ isomer and a Kπ=(1/2-) band have been observed. Two other rotational bands with three-quasiparticle structure, Kπ=15/2- and (19/2+) with π7/2[404]ν21/2[510]9/2[624] and π9/2[514]ν21/2[510]9/2[624] configurations, respectively, have been newly observed. The half-life of the Kπ=(19/2+) bandhead which decays to the head of the 15/2- band has been measured to be 140(36) ns. However, transitions from the (19/2+) state to the 15/2- band have not been observed. (orig.)
