Detailed Description

The VSSVertex class is the implementation of the vector-scalar-scalar vertex.

It inherits from the AbstractVSSVertex class for storage of the particles and implements the helicity calculations.

All such vertices should inherit from this class and implement the virtual setCoupling member

The form of the vertex is

\[-ic\left(p_2-p_3\right)\cdot\epsilon_1\phi_2\phi_3\]
