iii 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.
