This paper reports on the CEPXS/ONELD code package which proves to be significantly more efficient than electron Monte Carlo for computing spherical Compton diode response to gamma irradiation, requiring only minutes instead of hours of Cray computer time. The adjoint capability of CEPXS/ONELD allows the complete energy-angle response of a Compton diode to be determined with a single transport calculation. The method is a useful tool for determining new Compton-diode designs with desired energy-response characteristics.
