The traditional Bragg peak cannot be reflected in the "continuous slowing-down calculations" since we integrate down to energy loses corresponding to 95% of the initial energy, which is well above this energy. This is of course in contrast to the ion Bragg peak, which occurs at energies of ∼100 keV, and which is physically realizable in many circumstances and experiments.
