The VINCIA antenna shower for hadron colliders

Skands, Peter LU ; Fischer, Nadine LU ; Prestel, Stefan LU and Ritzmann, Mathias (2016) 38th International Conference on High Energy Physics, ICHEP 2016 In Proceedings of Science 282.
Abstract

We summarise the main features of VINCIA's antenna-based treatment of QCD initial- and finalstate showers, which includes iterated tree-level matrix-element corrections and automated evaluations of perturbative shower uncertainties. The latter are computed on the fly and are cast as a set of alternative weights for each generated event. The resulting algorithm has been made publicly available as a plug-in to the PYTHIA 8 event generator.
