where <math>k_i</math> is the beam photon momentum in the G-J frame.  The explicit kinematic factors from the initial-state flux and the density of final states for each of the decays are not factored into the T matrix so that we can make sure that it explicitly respects unitarity in each partial wave. In terms of the individual decay matrix elements introduced earlier, the T matrix element can be written as
