Abstract
The decay of a three-quasiparticle isomeric state at 1355 keV in was studied using in-beam -ray spectroscopic techniques. Tantalum isotopes were produced by the reactions with -particle energies between 24 and 48 MeV. The half-life of the isomer was measured to be μsec, and its spin and parity were determined to be . The mixing ratios and the rotational-model parameters were deduced for five transitions between members of the rotational band based on the state.
