    // 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.
