Ritzmann, M.; Kosower, D. A.; Skands, P. Antenna showers with hadronic initial states. (English) Zbl 1372.81157 Phys. Lett., B 718, No. 4-5, 1345-1350 (2013). Summary: We present an antenna shower formalism including contributions from initial-state partons and corresponding backwards evolution. We give a set of phase-space maps and antenna functions for massless partons which define a complete shower formalism suitable for computing observables with hadronic initial states. We focus on the initial-state components: initial-initial and initial-final antenna configurations. The formalism includes comprehensive possibilities for uncertainty estimates. We report on some preliminary results obtained with an implementation in the Vincia antenna-shower framework.
