The yield has been determined for the excitation of 180gTa (Jpi = 1+) from the 181Ta(gamma,n) reaction by measurements of gamma rays emitted following the electron capture and beta-decays of the 8.15 h ground state. The probability sigmam/(sigmam + sigmag) for the production of the 180mTa isomer (Jpi = 9-) after gamma absorption in the energy region from 8 to 13 MeV was deduced. The role of the initial and final spins on the reaction yield, along with the relevance for nucleosynthesis of 180mTa, is discussed.
