Proton radiography is used in various high-energy-density (HED) plasmaexperiments. In this paper, we describe a Monte Carlo and ray-tracingsimulation tool called MPRAD that can be used for modeling the deflection ofproton beams in arbitrary three dimensional electromagnetic fields, as well asthe diffusion of the proton beams by Coulomb scattering and stopping power. TheCoulomb scattering and stopping power models in cold matter and fully ionizedplasma are combined using interpolation. We discuss the application of MPRAD ina few setups relevant to HED plasma experiments where the plasma density canplay a role in diffusing the proton beams and affecting the prediction andinterpretation of the proton images. It is shown how the diffusion due toplasma density can affect the resolution and dynamical range of the protonradiography.
