MB tools reloaded. (English) Zbl 1518.81050

Summary: We address the problem of evaluation of multiloop Feynman integrals by means of their Mellin-Barnes representation. After a brief overview of available capabilities through open source toolkits and their application in various circumstances, we introduce a new code MBcreate which allows one to automatically deduce a concise Mellin-Barnes representation for a given parametric integral. A thorough discussion of its implementation and use is provided.
