Our system is currently under heavy load due to increased usage. We're actively working on upgrades to improve performance. Thank you for your patience.
A rather general method for determining the spin density matrix of a multiparticle system from angular decay data in presented. The method is based on a Bloch parameterisation of the d-dimensional generalised Gell-Mann representation of ρ and exploits the associated Wigner-and Weyl-transforms on the sphere. Each parameter of a (possibly multipartite) spin density matrix can can be measured from a simple average over an appropriate set of experimental angular decay distributions. The general procedures for both projective and non-projective decays are described, and the Wigner P and Q symbols calculated for the cases of spin-half, spin-one, and spin-3/2 systems. The methods are used to examine Monte Carlo simulations of pp collisions for bipartite systems: pp → W + W − , pp → ZZ, pp → ZW + , pp → W − t, and those from the Higgs boson decays H → W W * and H → ZZ * . Measurements are proposed for entanglement detection, exchange symmetry detection and Bell inequality violation in bipartite systems.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
