  We present the first successful potential model description of Li-6 -- He-4
scattering. The differential cross-sections for three energies and the vector
analyzing powers for two energies were fitted by a single potential with energy
dependent imaginary components. An essential ingredient is a set of Majorana
terms in each component. The potential was determined using a recently
developed direct data-to-potential inversion method which is a generalisation
of the IP S-matrix-to-potential inversion algorithm. We discuss the problems
related to this phenomenological approach, and discuss the relationship of our
results to existing and future theories.
