Excited states in {sup 75}Kr were populated via the reaction {sup 46}Ti({sup 32}S,2{ital pn}) at a beam energy of 97 MeV. Several new high-spin states were found. Evidence for band crossings was found in both the positive- and negative-parity bands. Calculations using a cranked Strutinsky-Bogolyubov model with a Woods-Saxon potential indicate noticeably different deformations for the opposite parity bands: {beta}{sub 2}=0.40, {gamma}={minus}8{degree} for the positive-parity band and {beta}{sub 2}=0.36, {gamma}=3{degree} for the negative-parity band. These deformations are comparable to superdeformations reported by other authors in the cerium region. Signature splitting in both positive- and negative-parity bands was well reproduced by the calculations. Indirect evidence suggests shape coexistence within the positive-parity band at low spin.
