High-LET heavy-ion dose deposition is not continuous. The sample is divided into small blocks to irradiate the desired shape, and the ions are irradiated in the selected specific blocks. The dose deposition per hit is high for heavy ions with high LET, so the value of the dose given to the block cannot be continuous. The blue-colored blocks are the blocks where the ions will be delivered. The red arrows indicate a single ion hit.
