The high spin levels of [sup 84]Y have been established up to 12 MeV excitation energy and probable spin of 25[sup +] through the reaction [sup 59]Co([sup 28]Si,2[ital pn])[sup 84]Y using in-beam [gamma]-ray spectroscopic techniques. The [gamma] transitions in [sup 84]Y have been identified through the particle-gamma coincidences. The level scheme was constructed through the [gamma]-[gamma] coincidences, angular distribution, and directional correlation orientation ratios. The positive parity yrast band built on the ([pi][ital g][sub 9/2][direct product][nu][ital g][sub 9/2]) configuration shows a large signature splitting and a signature inversion at [ital I][similar to]11[h bar]. The measured [ital B]([ital E]2; [ital I][r arrow][ital I][minus]2) values give a deformation [beta][sub 2][similar to]0.17. The negative parity band shows a signature inversion at [ital I][similar to]11[h bar] and [ital B]([ital M]1; [ital I][r arrow][ital I][minus]1) enhancement for [ital I][gt]11[h bar]. The projected Hartree-Fock and the cranked shell model calculations provide an understanding for the observed properties of the energy levels in [sup 84]Y.
