Master On/Off Switches

These switches allow to quickly switch major parts of VINCIA on and off.

Main VINCIA On/Off Switches

VINCIA On/Off

flag  Vincia   (default = on)
Main switch for VINCIA antenna showers. When set to on and the VINCIA plug-in is linked correctly to PYTHIA 8 (see section on installation and linking and/or the example program vincia01.cc included with the VINCIA plug-in), PYTHIA will use the VINCIA showers instead of its internal ones. If set to off instead, PYTHIA will use its own internal showers, regardless of whether the VINCIA plug-in is linked (useful for quick comparisons).

Final-State Radiation

flag  Vincia:FSR   (default = on)
Main switch for final-state radiation on/off.

Matrix-Element Matching

Please see the section on Matching.

Uncertainty Bands

Hadronization
