Abstract
Excited states in ${}^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ have been identified using time-correlated $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy and particle-$\ensuremath{\gamma}$ techniques following the incomplete fusion reaction ${}^{176}\mathrm{Yb}{(}^{11}\mathrm{B},\ensuremath{\alpha}{2n)}^{181}\mathrm{Ta}.$ As well as observing the rotational band based on the 11 ns isomer at 482 keV from the ${5/2}^{+}[402]$ proton configuration, which is found to be essentially identical to that associated with its ${7/2}^{+}[404]$ pseudospin partner, several multi-quasiparticle isomers are observed including a $33 \ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$ state, of probable spin and parity ${21/2}^{\ensuremath{-}},$ at 1483 keV. Experimental states are compared with multi-quasiparticle calculations.
