The exclusive projectile breakup cross section in the 6Li + 209Bi reaction has been measured at Elab = 40and 36 MeV. The sequential breakup, via the resonant state (3+, 2.18 MeV) of 6Li in the continuum,dominates the total α + d breakup. The inclusive breakup α cross section is, however, much largerimplying that other competing breakup processes contribute to the α-particle yields. The corrected yieldscorresponding to two sequential breakup peaks in the α or d spectra were seen to be asymmetric.The average sequential breakup data corresponding to the resonant state are in good agreement withcontinuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) calculations. Both Coulomb as well as nuclear fieldeffects were found to be important for the breakup process.
