In the ${{\mathit \eta}}$ rest frame, the total momentum of the ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ pair is equal and opposite to that of the ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ pair. Let $\hat{{\mathit z}}$ be the unit vector along the momentum of the ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ pair; let $\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ee}$ and $\hat{{\mathit n}}_{{{\mathit \pi}} {{\mathit \pi}}}$ be the unit vectors normal to the ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ and ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ planes; and let $\phi $ be the angle between the two normals. Then
| sin$\phi $ cos $\phi $ = [($\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ee}{\times }\hat{{\mathit n}}_{{{\mathit \pi}} {{\mathit \pi}}}$) $\cdot{}$ $\hat{{\mathit z}}$] ($\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ee}\cdot{}\hat{{\mathit n}}_{{{\mathit \pi}} {{\mathit \pi}}}$) , |
