Foam: Multi-dimensional general purpose Monte Carlo generator with self-adapting simplical grid

Abstract
A new general purpose Monte Carlo event generator with self-adapting grid consisting of simplices is described. In the process of initialization, the simplex-shaped cells divide into daughter subcells in such a way that: (a) cell density is biggest in areas where integrand is peaked, (b) cells elongate themselves along hyperspaces where integrand is enhanced/singular. The grid is anisotropic, i.e. memory of the axes directions of the primary reference frame is lost. In particular, the algorit...

Nature of problem
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation or generation of unweighted (weight equal one) events, is a standard exercise in the particle physics, and in many other areas of the research. It is often necessary to generate MC events according to a probability density with strong peaks (singularities) spanned along complicated hyperspaces of not a very well known shape. It is highly desirable to have in the program library a general-purpose numerical tool (program) with a MC generation algorithm featuring built-i ...
