Correlations between coincident alpha particles and deuterons emitted in /sup 40/Ar-induced reactions on /sup 197/Au at E/A = 60 MeV were measured. The relative populations of particle-unstable states of /sup 6/Li were extracted. The measured spectra are consistent with a mean nuclear temperature at emission of T = 5 MeV. Limitations of temperature measurements via the population of excited states are discussed.
