Tantalum Arsenide (TaAs) and Tantalum Phosphide (TaP) are prototypical Weyl-Semimetals. We examine the electronic band structure using Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy over a broad range of excitation energies from the VUV to the Soft X-Ray regime. With this high flexibility in photon energies, we are able to analyse the entire complex band structure of TaP in detail. In particular the surface states and the bulk band structure are identified at different photon energies and compared to first principles DFT calculations. By use of linear polarized light, we disentangle the orbital character of the Fermi arcs and other electronic states in the Fermi surface along with their connection to the bulk band structure [1].
