Detailed Description

The TensorSpinInfo class is the implementation of the spin information for tensor particles.

It inherits from the SpinInfo class and implements the storage of the basis tensors.

These basis states should be set by either matrix elements 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 decayers to produce the correct correlation.

N.B. in our convention 0 is the $-2$ helicity state, 1 is the $-1$ helicity state, 2 is the $0$ helicity state, 3 is the $+1$ helicity state and 4 is the $+2$ helicity state.
