Reaction $T ({}^{3}{He}, γ) {}^{6}{Li}$ in the Energy Range 0.5-11 MeV

γ

-ray spectra from the radiative capture of

{}^{3}{He}

particles by tritons have been obtained over the energy range

0.5 \leq E ({}^{3}{He}) \leq 11.0

MeV. Strong transitions were seen to the ground and first two excited states of

{}^{6}{Li}

; excitation curves and angular distributions are presented. The integrated cross section for the inverse reaction

{}^{6}{Li} (γ_{0}, t) {}^{3}{He}

up to

E_{γ} = 25

MeV is found to be 9.3±1.4 MeV mb. Evidence is also found for a transition to the second

T = 1

state of

{}^{6}{Li}

. The results are discussed in the framework of the direct-capture model. Substantial T+

{}^{3}{He}

clustering is evident in the four observed

{}^{6}{Li}

final states.
