DOIAbstract
Excited states in Ta and Ta, populated in the Nd(Si, pxn) reaction, were investigated using the ESSA30 array with 29 Compton-suppressed Ge detectors. Several rotational decay sequences are identified and for the first time a high-spin level scheme is established for these nuclei. The results for Ta are discussed in comparison with existing data in the neighbouring nuclei and with cranked shell model calculations. The possible intrinsic structure and its consequences for the yrast band in Ta are also briefly discussed
