Angular Distribution of Two-Body Decay

Let's begin with a general amplitude for the two-body decay of a state with angular momentum quantum numbers J,m. Specifically, we want to know the amplitude of this state having daughter 1 with trajectory Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \Omega=(\phi,\theta)} . We can also describe the angular momentum between the daughters as being L and spin sum as s. Alternatively, we will label the daughters as having helicities of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lambda_1} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lambda_2} - projections on the direction of decay (specified by daughter 1)

Substitution of each bra-ket with their respective formulae.   Note that in the event of one daughter being spin-less, the second Clebsch-Gordan coefficient is 1

Isospin Projections

One must also take into account the various ways isospin of daughters can add up to the isospin quantum numbers of the parent, requiring a term:

 

where a=1 and b=2, referring to the daughter number. Because an even-symmetric angular wave function (i.e. L=0,2...) imply that 180 degree rotation is equivalent to reversal of daughter identities (a,b becoming b,a) one must write down the symmetrized expression:
