Abstract
High-spin states in the odd-odd nucleus Ta have been populated in the Sn(V,3n) reaction. Two multi-quasiparticle structures have been extended significantly from spin to above . As a result, the first rotational alignment has been fully delineated and a second band crossing has been observed for the first time in this nucleus. Configurations for these strongly-coupled rotational bands are proposed based on signature splitting, ratio information, and observed rotation-alignment behavior. Properties of the observed bands in Ta are compared to related structures in the neighboring odd-, odd-, and odd-odd nuclei and are discussed within the framework of the cranked shell model.
