Rotational structures in the 169Ta nucleus were studied via the 124Sn(51V, 6n) reaction. These data were obtained as a side channel of an experiment focusing on 171Ta, but the sensitivity provided by the Gammasphere spectrometer proved sufficient for a significant extension of the level scheme of this rare-earth nucleus. Over 170 new transitions and four new band structures were placed in 169Ta, including the intruder πi13/2 structure. Linking transitions between all of the sequences were identified, and the relative excitation energies between the different configurations were determined for the first time. The rotational sequences were interpreted within the framework of the cranked shell model.
