the ''v'' coefficients.  Thus the final expression for the differential cross section contains no reference to the quantum numbers <math>\epsilon_i, \epsilon_f</math>, nor to any ''w'' coefficients.  It is important to recognize that this simplification of the cross section is only possible in the case of an unpolarized target and no recoil polarimetry.
