abstract
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.

The paper provides a detailed physics and user manual for the PYTHIA 8.3 Monte Carlo event generator used in high-energy physics.
A primer by six leading developers maps the full Monte Carlo chain (matrix elements, parton showers, hadronisation, detector simulation, tuning, analysis) and the computing and reproducibility issues that come with it.
