Progress in theoretical research into track structure and energy deposition distribution of heavy ions is introduced, and some research results are given, such as a Monte Carlo model of heavy ion track structure calculation, frequency distribution of energy deposition inside a electron track and radial dose distribution around a heavy ion path. Moreover, research direction in future is also analysed.
