The most intense gamma-ray line observable from novae is likely to be frompositron annihilation associated with the decay of 18F. The uncertainty in thedestruction rate of this nucleus through the 18F(p,{\alpha})15O reactionpresents a limit to interpretation of any future observed gamma-ray flux.Direct measurements of the cross section of both this reaction and the18F(p,p)18F reaction have been performed between center of mass energies of 0.5and 1.9 MeV. Simultaneous fits to both data sets with the R-Matrix formalismreveal several resonances, with the inferred parameters of populated states in19Ne in general agreement with previous measurements. Of particular interest,extra strength has been observed above ECM \sim1.3 MeV in the 18F(p,p)18Freaction and between 1.3-1.7 MeV in the 18F(p,{\alpha})15O reaction. This iswell described by a broad 1/2+ state, consistent with both a recent theoreticalprediction and an inelastic scattering measurement. The astrophysicalimplications of a broad sub-threshold partner to this state are discussed.
