Abstract

We summarize recent developments in the VINCIA parton shower. After a brief review of thebasics of the formalism, the extension of VINCIA to hadron collisions is sketched. We then turnto improvements of the efficiency of tree-level matching by making the shower history uniqueand by incorporating identified helicities. We conclude with an overview of matching to one-loopmatrix elements.
