ABSTRACT
In this paper we present a simple method for the calculation of mass stopping power (in MeV cm2/g) of protons from 0.5 Mev to 200 MeV energy range in biological human body substances such as water, bone, muscle and tissue. The proposed relations have been described in terms of energy of proton and mean (< Z/A >) of atomic number (Z) and atomic weight (A). A fairly good agreement has been found between our simplified values for mass stopping power of protons for water, bone, muscle and tissue and that of Mukherjee calculated values.
