The ${}_{}{}^{19}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{F}({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}, d){}_{}{}^{20}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ne}$ reaction has been studied at a bombarding energy of 18 MeV. Levels were identified up to an excitation energy of 13.3 MeV in ${}_{}{}^{20}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ne}$. Several new spin-parity and isospin assignments are made. A comparison of the experimental spectroscopic strengths with those predicted by the Nilsson, SU(3), and shell models shows reasonably good agreement.
