Example of light-cone construction with MAPSIM from z = 0 to z = 4 for a ΛCDM simulation with a box size of 750 h⁻¹ Mpc, tiled to encompass the 5 × 5 deg² light cone. The light cone geometry is depicted by the red solid line, expanding until its transverse comoving size matches that of the simulation box. Different colors represent different boxes, while the total of 21 different snapshots are defined by the dashed lines. The source plane (blue solid line) for ray tracing is placed at z_s = 1. The snapshots within z_obs < z < z_s are the 13 utilized ones, while the gray region indicates the snapshots with z > z_s that are not considered in this study. The yellow solid lines represent the 27 lens planes used, onto which the particles are projected. Among these, only those within the considered snapshots are utilized for constructing the convergence maps used in this work, positioned from z = 0.05 to 0.98, respectively.
