Abstract
Angular distributions for alpha particles from ${\mathrm{Li}}^{6}({\mathrm{Li}}^{6},\ensuremath{\alpha}){\mathrm{Be}}^{8}$ have been obtained from five distinct alpha-particle peaks. However, only one peak, that corresponding to the 2.90-MeV state of ${\mathrm{Be}}^{8}$, has been positively identified. An analysis of the ${\mathrm{Li}}^{6}$+${\mathrm{Li}}^{6}$ gamma-ray spectrum with 100 times more counts than previous data indicate that no gamma ray from ${\mathrm{Be}}^{8}$ exists with an intensity greater than 2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$% that of the 6.90-MeV peak from ${\mathrm{C}}^{11}$ and ${\mathrm{B}}^{11}$. This indicates an $\ensuremath{\alpha}+d$ configuration for ${\mathrm{Li}}^{6}$. The experiment has been performed with a Van de Graaff accelerator.
