Abstract: We study cubature formulas for $ d$-dimensional integrals with an arbitrary symmetric weight function of product form. We present a construction that yields a high polynomial exactness: for fixed degree $ \ell=5$ or $ \ell=7$ and large dimension $ d$ the number of knots is only slightly larger than the lower bound of Möller and much smaller compared to the known constructions.

We also show, for any odd degree $ \ell = 2k+1$, that the minimal number of points is almost independent of the weight function. This is also true for the integration over the (Euclidean) sphere.
