Measurements of the differential cross section and the analyzing powers iT{sub 11}, T{sub 20}, T{sub 21}, and T{sub 22} for {sup 6}Li-{sup 4}He elastic scattering have been made at incident {sup 6}Li energies of 5.5 and 19.6 MeV. The measurements cover an angular range of {theta}{sub c.m.}=18.8{degree}{endash}165{degree} at 19.6 MeV, and {theta}{sub c.m.}=37.8{degree}{endash}160{degree} at 5.5 MeV. The data are compared to several different optical model calculations. Also, the calibration of a {sup 6}Li(pol) polarimeter, which employs {sup 6}Li(pol)-{sup 4}He elastic scattering, is described. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
