Abstract

The CEPXS/ONELD version 2.0 code package offers an easy-to-use tool for calculating the high-energy electron-photon cascade in one-dimensional geometries. Since defaults exist for the finite-differencing approximation the user is not required to be an expert in discrete ordinates techniques. Version 2.0 of CEPXS/ONELD also allows users to easily calculate response functions in adjoint or inverse transport mode. Kerma predictions and calculations in curvilinear geometries can also be obtained.<>
