Abstract: Let $N_g$ denote a closed nonorientable surface of genus $g$. For $ggeq2$ the mapping class group $mathcalM(N_g)$ is generated by Dehn twists and one crosscap slide ($Y$-homeomorphism) or by Dehn twists and a crosscap transposition. Margalit and Schleimer observed that Dehn twists have nontrivial roots. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a root of a crosscap slide and a crosscap transposition.
