The {sup 4}He({alpha},{sup 3}He){sup 5}He(g.s.)reaction was studied at incident laboratory energies of 158 and 200 MeV for c.m. scattering angles ranging from {approximately}16{degree} to 100{degree}. The shape of the {sup 5}He(g.s.)peak in the measured {sup 3}He energy spectra is well reproduced by distorted-wave Born approximation calculations. Whereas calculations utilizing six-parameter optical potentials yield good qualitative agreement with the measured angular distributions, unacceptably poor agreement is found when nine-parameter potentials are utilized. Absolute normalization with {ital D}{sup 2}{sub 0} strengths extracted from corresponding zero-range and finite-range calculations overpredicts the measurements by factors of {approximately}2 to 3. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
