Description
An accurate and efficient simulation of final-state radiation is key for many studies of hadron decays in view of the ever-increasing experimental precision. In this talk, we present a new simulation tool based on the Antenna parton shower, the Vincia generator, which we recently extended to simulate QED radiation from hadrons. As part of this effort, we implemented state-of-the-art tree-level matrix element corrections for various decay topologies and introduced Vincia as alternative for final-state radiation inside the EvtGen generator. We will show the results of several benchmark tests against established final-state radiation generators, comparing the physics results and the performance of the simulation.
