Detailed Description

The VVSVertex class is the implementation of the vector-vector-scalar.

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

All interactions of this type should inherit from it and implement the virtual setCoupling member.

The form of the vertex is
