Question: Consider the decay 0 in the CM. Assume a Cartesian coordinate system x * , y * , z * >, and
Consider the decay π0→γγ in the CM. Assume a Cartesian coordinate system x*, y*, z* >, and the polar coordinates ρ*, θ*, ϕ*. In this reference frame, the decay is isotropic. Give the expression of the probability per unit solid angle, P(cosθ*, ϕ*)=dN/dΩ* of observing a photon in the direction θ*, ϕ*. Then consider the L reference frame, in which the π0 travels in the direction z = z* with momentum p and write the probability per unit solid angle, P(cosθ, ϕ) of observing a photon in the direction θ, ϕ .
