Putting together the amplitudes discussed above, we arrive at the complete angular-dependent amplitude of photo-production of resonance X and decay to the given final state. The mass-dependent component of the amplitude is given by the Breit-Wigner form:

The factor $f$ is a constant and does not carry mass dependence because the mass of the pion is fixed.

The di-pion system in the decay of the <math>\omega</math> is non-resonant, so its width is entered as infinity. The mass-dependent terms in the expressions above are given by the explicitly unitary Breit-Wigner form:

Note that we leave the sum over <math>L_X</math> outside the amplitude of interest. This is convenient in partial wave analysis so that the hypothesized L-states can be listed and summed explicitly. In mass-independent fits, the Breit-Wigner for the resonance is replaced with strength factors that are parameters of the fit. An exponential dependence of ''t'' is inserted with a coefficient that can be deduced from fits in separate ''t'' bins.

The intensity would then require an incoherent summation of amplitudes with laboratory x and y polarization.
