Abstract
In this research, a theoretical study was carried to calculate the mass stopping power by using Ziegler equations and fitting equations for protons in biological Human parts (Water, Bone, Muscle, Tissue, Trachea, and Adipose tissue) in the range of energy (1-100000) KeV. The data extracted from SRIM 2013 program was used to protons to the same mediums applied in the Matlab program. The correlation coefficient (r) was calculated between the data Ziegler equation and the SRIM 2013 program data. A fairly good agreement has been found between our simplified values for mass stopping power of protons for Water, Bone, Muscle, Tissue, Trachea, and Adipose tissue.
