The stopping power and CSDA ranges of energetic protons in carbon has been

calculated using a model based on different theoretical approaches within energy range

(1.5 -295)MeV . The present work accounts for the incident proton slows down due to

the inelastic collision between target electrons of the medium and the incident proton

moving through it . These interactions of the incident proton with the target’s electrons is

a function of the proton energy . Our results are in good agreement available data of the

universal code pstar . This calculation model can be useful for different applications in

nuclear physics, medical physics , materials science and space radiation health.
