Detailed Description

The RSFermionSpinInfo class inherits from the SpinInfo class and implements the storage of the basis vector for a spin-3/2 particle.

The basis states are the vector u spinors for a particle and the vector v-spinors for an antiparticle. The barred spinors can be obtained from these.

These basis states should be set by either the matrixelements or decayers which are capable of generating spin correlation information.

The basis states in the rest frame of the particles can then be accessed by the decayers to produce the correct correlations.

N.B. in our convention 0 is the \(-\frac32\) helicity state, 1 is the \(-\frac12\) helicity state, 2 is the \(+\frac12\) helicity state, 3 is the \(+\frac32\) helicity state.
