The {sup 6}Li(d, {alpha}){sup 4}He reaction, whose astrophysical importance is connected to the primordial nucleosynthesis in the framework of the Inhomogeneous Big Bang, has been studied by using the Trojan Horse Method (THM). We derive and discuss the cross section and the astrophysical S(E)-factor for E{sub cm}=0.025-0.7 MeV. Results are compared with data from a direct measurement.
