//            Weak showers
//            LHEF
//            Dark matter

// Example showing how to run Vincia's electroweak shower with LHEF input.
// This requires the LHEF files to contain helicities for the hard partons.
// In this example, the LHEF file contains dark-matter particles annihilating
// to electron-positron pairs.

// Note: emitted weak bosons decay inclusively; it would be up to the user
// themselves to filter events with decays to specific channels if desired.
