Abstract: The scaling of the longitudinal velocity structure functions, $S_q(r)=<|deltau(r){|}^q>sim{r}^{zet{a}_q}$, is analyzed up to order $q=8$ in a decaying rotating turbulence experiment from a large Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) dataset. The exponent of the second-order structure function, $zet{a}_2$, increases throughout the self-similar decay regime, up to the Ekman time scale. The normalized higher-order exponents, $zet{a}_q/zet{a}_2$, are close to those of the intermittent non-rotating case at small times, but show a marked departure at larger times, on a time scale $Omeg{a}^{-1}$ ($Omega$ is the rotation rate), although a strictly non-intermittent linear law $zet{a}_q/zet{a}_2=q/2$ is not reached.
