Can any one tell me what will be the scenario taking place when high-energy proton beams come in contact with the brass material ?

In Proton therapy machine, the high energy protons will hit the material brass(which is used for aperture). What would be the reaction when such high energy protons hit brass ? are there any range-energy tables for protons considering the brass material ? what would be the penetration of protons in brass or up to what extent brass can absorb or reject the protons ? what would be the exact phenomena that will occur when protons come in contact with the brass material ?
