Yield curves for the Al/sup 27/(p, gamma )Si/sup 28/ reaction at 992 kev were studied extensively for thick and thin targets. Thick-target curves show a peak a few hundred ev above the resonance energy due to the discrete nature of energy losses suffered by protons as they penetrate the target. Theoretical thick and thin-target yield curves were obtained for this resonance by Monte Carlo calculations. Effects produced by discrete energy losses, by target contamination, and by nonuniform target thickness are investigated. Theoretical fits to experimental data for aluminum indicate that target contamination plays a major role in determining the shape of experimental thick-target yield curves. Experimental thick-target yield curves for the Ni/sup 58/(p, gamma )Cu/sup 59/ resonances af 1424 and 1844 kev exhibit peaks in qualitative agreement with those predicted for other resonances by Monte Carlo calculations.
