We present a complete set of helicity-dependent 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 are explicitly sampled (and conserved) at each step of the evolution. Although not capturing the full effects of spin correlations, the explicit helicity sampling does permit a significantly faster evaluation of fixed-order matrix-element corrections. A further speed increase is achieved via the implementation of a new fast library of analytical MHV amplitudes, while matrix elements from Madgraph are used for non-MHV configurations. A few examples of applications to QCD 2->2 processes are given, comparing the newly released Vincia 2.200 to Pythia 8.226.

  1. Sudakov evolution without unitarity

    hep-ph 2025-06 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Sunshine removes Sudakov factors from parton-shower sampling by keeping every intermediate state, giving direct tree-level expansions and enabling tests of matrix-element corrections.

  2. Dissecting Parton Showers with Multi-Point Energy Correlators

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Projections of four-point energy correlators cleanly separate spin from kinematic azimuthal correlations inside jets; spin effects are subdominant in accessible LHC kinematics.
