Deuterons from the reaction ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}(e,d)e^{\prime }$, ${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ were measured at eight laboratory angles over a deuteron energy interval of approximately 2-10 MeV. The incident electron energy was chosen so that only deuterons and $\alpha$ particles were left in the final state. These data are compared to a one-resonance square-well electrodisintegration model. Extracted photodisintegration cross sections are also compared with a more sophisticated Woods-Saxon photodisintegration theory. In both comparisons the data and theory are in overall qualitative agreement.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}(e,d)e^{\prime }$, ${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$, measured $\sigma (E_d,{\theta }_d)$, $E_d\simeq 2-10$ MeV, $\theta =30-150\mathrm{}°$, extracted ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}(\gamma ,d){}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ for $E_x>10\mathrm{}$ MeV.
