The particle-particle angular correlation method is applied to the reaction ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}({}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li},d){}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}\to \alpha +{}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$. Deuterons were detected at ${\theta }_d^{\mathrm{lab}}=10\mathrm{}$°. Information on the reaction mechanism is obtained by analyzing the shape and the angular shift of the experimental data. A dominant direct transfer mechanism is found for the primary reaction. The ratios $\frac{{\Gamma }_{{\alpha }_0}}{\Gamma }$ and the $\alpha$-reduced widths ${\gamma }_{{\alpha }_0}$ are deduced.
