Escape the underscore with a backslash: prc\_tms. Similarly, ^ produces
a superscript whereas \^ produces a caret. And for something completely
different, \alpha produces α which is rendered as the first letter
of the Greek alphabet etc.
This notation is TeX-inspired: Carsten is a scientist, he uses TeX/LaTeX
for papers and he uses org-mode for notes, so it was natural for him to
adopt the notation.
