Multi-quasiparticle structures up to spin ∼ 44h in the odd-odd nucleus ¹⁶⁸Ta

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹²⁰Sn(⁵¹V, 3n), E=235 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin using Gammasphere array. ¹⁶⁸Ta, deduced levels, J, π, B(M1)/B(E2) values, energy staggerings of signature partners, alignments, two-quasiparticle bands, configurations. Comparisons with cranked shell model calculations, and with band structures of ^162,164,166Tm, ^164,166,169Lu, ¹⁶⁷Hf and ^166,167,170Ta.
