Helicity antenna showers for hadron colliders

Abstract We present a complete set of helicity-dependent $$2\rightarrow 3$$ 2→3 antenna functions for QCD initial- and final-state radiation. The functions are implemented in the Vincia shower Monte Carlo framework and are used to generate showers for hadron-collider processes in which helicities ar...
