(MC) 3 A Multi-Channel Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for phasespace sampling
A new Monte Carlo algorithm for phasespace sampling, named (MC) 3 , is presented. It is based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques but at the same time incorporates prior knowledge about the target distribution in the form of suitable phasespace mappings from a corresponding Multi-Channel Importance Sampling Monte Carlo. The combined approach inherits the benefits of both techniques while typical drawbacks of either solution get ameliorated.
