Absolute cross sections have been obtained for the reactions ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$($d$,$n{}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$)${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ and ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$($d$,$p{}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{H}$)${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ for deuteron energies from 100 to 800 keV. The energy spectra of particles from these reactions are continuums because of the three-body final state. Total cross sections as well as angular distributions have been obtained with accuracies of 10 to 17%. Comparisons of energy spectra are made to predictions of simple models.
