pySecDec: A toolbox for the numerical evaluation of multi-scale integrals

We present a new version of SECDEC, a program for the numerical computation of parametric integrals in the context of dimensional regularization. By its modular structure, the python rewrite pySECDEC is much more customizable than earlier versions of SECDEC. The numerical integration is accelerated using code optimization available in FORM. With the new C++ interface, pySECDEC can provide numerical solutions of analytically unknown integrals in user-defined code.
