Abstract

Recent experiments measuring the thick-target yield curve of narrow resonances in (p, γ) reactions on23Na,26Mg and27Al nuclei clearly show the Lewis effect. We have studied this effect theoretically on the basis of a Monte Carlo simulation of the nuclear and electronic energy loss curve in the target. We are able to reproduce the experimental data qualitatively. We discuss possible implications of precision measurements of the Lewis effect.
