Simultaneous measurement of the proton-transfer {sup 18}F(d, n){sup 19}Ne and neutron-transfer {sup 18}F(d, p){sup 19}F reactions were performed with a {sup 18}F radioactive beam at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The experiments clarify the nuclear structure of {sup 19}Ne near the proton threshold, which is relevant for understanding the rates of proton-induced reactions on {sup 18}F in novae. Analogs for several states in the mirror nucleus {sup 19}F have not yet been identified in {sup 19}Ne, indicating that the level structure of {sup 19}Ne in this region is incomplete. We observed 15 levels in {sup 19}Ne from the {sup 18}F(d, n){sup 19}Ne measurement and 18 levels in {sup 19}F from the {sup 18}F(d, p){sup 19}F measurement. Angular distributions were extracted for all strongly populated states and compared to distorted-wave Born approximation calculations. The angular distributions for all the known states in the two nuclei determined in this work are consistent with their previously assigned spins and parities. The spectroscopic factors determined for these levels in the two nuclei are reported.
