Helicity-dependent showers and matching with VINCIA

We present an antenna shower formalism that includes helicity dependence for massless partons. The formalism applies to both traditional (global) showers and sector-based variants. We combine the shower with vincia’s multiplicative approach to matrix-element matching, generalized to operate on each...
