Small nuclei provide an ideal testing ground of few-body theories. {sup 6}He is particularly interesting in that it shows an extended particle distribution similar to a halo nucleus, is loosely bound, and is a Borromean system. We apply a fully antisymmetric model with correct projection into eigenstates of angular momentum. Binding energies, charge radii, matter radii, and B(E2;0{sup +}{yields}2{sup +}) were obtained for the {alpha}+2n and cigar configurations. The same configurations were used to obtain the same observables for {sup 6}Li. Were were then able to calculate the log ft value for the beta decay of {sup 6}He.
