Angular distributions in the barycentric coordinate system are presented for 24 charged-particle emissions from Li/sup 7/Li/sup 7/, Li/sup 7/,Li/sup 6/, and Li/sup 6/Li/sup 6/ interactions. Th ese have been integrated, and the resulting total cross sections are tabulated. The total cross-section sums for a given projectile target combination are in reasonable agreement with theoretical estimates based on barrier penetration with nuclear radii given by r/sup 0/A/sup 1/2/ with r/sub 0/ = 1.5 F. The largest total cross sections measured are approximately 40 x 10/sup -28/ cm/sup 2/. The angular distributions from Li/sup 6/Li/sup 6/ and Li/sup 7/Li/sup 7/ are symmetr ical about 90 deg by necessity, those from Li/sup 7/Li/sup 6/ are, in general, asymmetric and difficult to reconcile with a simple compound-nucleus interpretation of the reactions. Most of the intense particle emissions are cases in which the residual nucleus can be formed by Li/sup 7/ capturing a deuteron or an alpha from Li/sup 6/, or by Li/sup 6/ capturing an alpha from Li/sup 7/ To produce high cross sections these captures must be with 1 = 0 between the reacting clusters. The evidence supports the hypothesis that a prominent but not necessarily exclusive reaction mechanism is for one ofmore » the Li-Li reacting partners to be distorted into reacting clusters,'' consisting of an alpha cluster from either of the lithiums, and a deuteron cluster from Li/sup 6/ or a triton cluster from Li/sup 7/.
