Abstract
MonteCUBES is a package created to provide the possibility of easily performing
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations of neutrino oscillation experiments. This document is the end-user manual for MonteCUBES and thus provides
instructions on how to install and use it along with other tools. The MonteCUBES
distribution consists of two main parts. The first part of the distribution is a
C library written as a plug-in to GLoBES [1, 2]. This part enables the user to
perform MCMC samplings of the parameter space of neutrino oscillations. The
fact that it is written as a plug-in to GLoBES makes it simple to define and
study different experimental setups, as well as the possibility of adding different
new physics. The second part of MonteCUBES is a graphical Matlab interface,
which makes it easy to plot simulation results in a variety of different ways, as
well as export higher-level data such as contours and graphs, without reference
to the originally produced MCMC results.
