An isomeric state at high spin and excitation energy was recently observed
in the proton-unbound nucleus 158Ta. This state was observed to
decay by both α and γ decay modes. The large spin change required to decay
via γ-ray emission incurs a lifetime long enough for α decay to compete.
The α decay has an energy of 8644(11) keV, which is among the highest
observed in the region, a partial half-life of 440(70) µs and changes the
spin by 11~. In this paper, additional evidence supporting the assignment
of this α decay to the high-spin isomer in 158Ta will be presented.
