  Xenos is an integrated 3D code suite for the design of X-ray sources and electron beam devices. The component programs run under all versions of Windows. This paper describes unique features of Xenos compared to other Monte Carlo packages: 1) representation of geometry and deposited dose on a finite-element mesh supported by an interactive mesh generator, 2) inclusion of full 3D electric and magnetic fields in Monte Carlo simulations, 3) an integrated user environment for input and output calculations (e.g., electron gun design, target heating, …) and 4) extended parallel-computing support for high-accuracy solutions. Xenos employs the full capabilities of multi-core computers and allows parallel computations on an unlimited number of independent computers.
