Schematic illustration of proton interaction mechanisms: (a) energy loss via Coulombic interactions, (b) deflection of proton trajectory by repulsive Coulomb scattering with nucleus, (c) removal of primary proton and creation of secondary particles via non-elastic nuclear interaction. (p: proton, e: electron, n: neutron, He: Helium, γ: gamma rays)
