The {sup 19}F nucleus has been studied extensively. However, there have been no comprehensive experimental studies of {sup 18}F+n single-particle components in {sup 19}F, and no measure of neutron vacancies in the {sup 18}F ground state, as such experiments require a (radioactive) {sup 18}F target or beam. We have used the {sup 2}H({sup 18}F,p){sup 19}F reaction to selectively populate states in {sup 19}F that are of {sup 18}F+n character. The 108.5-MeV radioactive {sup 18}F{sup +9} beam was provided by the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Proton-recoil coincidence data were taken for both {alpha}-decaying and particle-stable final states. Angular distributions and spectroscopic factors were measured for nine proton groups, corresponding to 13 states in {sup 19}F. The results are compared to shell model calculations.
