In conventional treatment plans Protonterapia is paramount knowledge of how the proton will interact with the radiated field and know at what point the Bragg peak will appear, and then able to treat the patient appropriately. The aim of this study is to evaluate using the Monte Carlo simulation code for radiation transport FLUKA, as the deposition of energy proton beam interacts with matter and how their dependence between the initial energy. We evaluate how the proton loses energy along its trajectory in a cylinder composed of water and another for human soft tissue, thus wanting to understand a little more about their behavior in materials with different densities and if it affects your speed. The results are demonstrated through graphs of dose deposition per cm traversed along the path, until then miss the proton total capacity of locomotion in the middle
