During the course of the simulation, we monitor the energy transfered transferred  to the electrons of the target due to a constant velocity moving proton. %At the time scales of the simulations, the large mass of the proton guarantees a change in its velocity that is relatively small.  For simplicity, the proton is constrained to move at constant velocity, hence the total energy of the system is not conserved.   The excess in total energy is instead used as a measure of the stopping power as a function of the proton velocity.
