Vegas Revisited: Adaptive Monte Carlo Integration Beyond Factorization

Abstract

We present a new adaptive Monte Carlo integration algorithm for ill-behaved integrands with non-factorizable singularities. The algorithm combines Vegas with multi channel sampling and performs significantly better than Vegas for a large class of integrals appearing in physics.
