This work aims to investigate the interaction of charged particles (alpha and proton) with the CeBr3 scintillator by using Monte Carlo simulation. The total mass stopping power (TMSP), projected range, ion distributions, and ion ranges in the CeBr3 at an energy range of 0.01 - 10,000 , were computed by SRIM and FLUKA programs. The simulation results show that the TMSP of CeBr3 obtained by both programs is in good agreement. The alpha particle has a higher TMSP of the CeBr3 than the proton. The projected range of alpha and proton particles increases with increasing energy. The projected range of the proton is higher than that of the alpha particle when compared at the same energy. Finally, the 2D visualization of ion distributions and ion ranges for alpha and proton particles was reported.
