New transitions in neutron rich [Formula: see text]Y have been identified by analyzing the high statistics [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] coincidence data from the spontaneous fission of [Formula: see text]Cf at the Gammasphere detector array. Shell model calculations were performed and are found in good agreement with experimental data. The ground state is nearly spherical but a new excited band has large deformation.
