      Bragg Curve. Bragg Peak.
      You can google either of those terms. That is literally the science behind the how and why of why this dude survived.
      A high energy particle energy beam has certain properties, and those properties can be measured, predicted, controlled and utilized.
      The tldr is that radiation has a certain shape and penetration force associated with it.
      This is how and why targetted radiation works. The energy levels and waveform is specifically modified and constantly modulated and manipulated to only hit a certain 3D area within someone's body (like, only the tumor).

    This reminds me of the story of a Japanese man named Ouchi Hisashi who was leaning over the top of a nuclear reactor when it went critical and was shot with a beam of radiation that literally vaporized most of his chromosomes. His body was no longer able to make new cells, so after a few days, his skin had peeled off, leaving only bone, muscle, and nerve endings. He was in constant pain and his heart stopped many times, but he was always resuscitated by the doctors, against his wishes. He lived like this for 83 days until he was able to get the legal system on his side and enforce the DNR (do not resuscitate) order he was so desperate for. This man genuinely might have had the single most torturous death in human history.

      Even tiny concentrations of radiation on individual body parts it's still lethal if things go wrong. There were multiple incidents of a medical radiation device giving people lethal doses because of an error in the script. I believe it was a cesium radiation therapy machine. If you think you've taken a dose of radiation unknowingly go to the hospital immediately and tell them you think it's radiation poisoning, they are far more likely to take you seriously than if you just report being nauseous and dizzy.

    An interesting fact about the protons going through his body: Because the protons were travelling at relativistic speeds, they would have experienced considerable length contraction.

The total kinetic energy and the mass are really the only base stats we care about, and the only other part that matters at all is the geometries in which the objects collide.

    Kyle Hill did a deep dive on this issue and it was a matter of 3 things, first it takes Gorsky radioed the control room to shut everything down as he would be entering the lab in 5 minutes, but Gorsky arrived at the lab faster then planned (only 2-3 minutes not 5 plus he asked for). Second the warning light had burnt out earlier that day according the the maintenance records. Third was the fact that the lock for whatever the reason was not locked which was controlled automatically while the accelerator was running so when he say no light and the door was unlocked he thought it was safe although reports say he felt someway uneasy for some reason. The main collider unlike most normal ones used a system were it would fire the protons into the air at differently spaced sensors, it was here were Gorsky got between one of the beems.
    As for the reason he didn't die was because the wave Fq of the protons to slow down and dump their excess energy was longer than the thickness of his head so the terminal point were the protons would stop and drop 8 inches past the back of his skull.
    Hope that helps clear a little up for you as you seemed to know be aware of some of the details, Kyle Hills video about this topic was very detailed if you wanted another source especially about topics on radiation and nuclear power he has been to chernobyl and other places in relation to this topic :)

      Kind of and kind of not depending on how exactly you mean. The particle beam is essentially going to go entirely through whatever it is aimed at (some particles will collide and obviously not continue on, but most will keep going). So the first problem is that how would you hit a spot in the middle of the brain (for example), yet not destroy everything in front of and behind that cancer? We don't really have a way to do that. It would technically work, there would just be a massive amount of extra damage you didn't want. If you could find a good angle with a clean "shot" straight through and nothing important in the way? Eh, I mean it sounds like it has enough merit that I can imagine people right now that would consider this worth a shot. I mean nothing about this video sounds pleasant, but it certainly sounds way better than a horrible, slow, agonizing cancer death.
