0020  *
0021  * The <code>PScalarVectorVectorDecayer</code> class is designed to perform the decay 
0022  * of a pseudoscalar meson to two spin-1 particles. The majority of these decays
0023  * are of a light pseudoscalar meson to \f$\gamma\gamma\f$ where
0024  * including the matrix-element is unnessecary. However there are a small number
0025  * of decays, 
0026  * \e e.g. \f$\eta'\to\omega\gamma\f$
0027  * where the use of this decayer is required to get the correct correlations.
0028  *
0029  *  The matrix element is taken to be 
0030  * \f[\mathcal{M} = g\epsilon^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}
0031  *                   p_{1\mu}   \epsilon_{1\nu}
0032  *                   p_{2\alpha}\epsilon_{2\beta},
0033  *   \f]
0034  *  where \f$p_{1,2}\f$ and \f$\epsilon_{1,2}\f$ are the momenta and polarzation
0035  *  vectors of the outgoing vectors.
0036  *
0037  *  While this Lorentz structure always applies for pseudoscalar to two pseudovectors or scalar to 
0038  *  vector pseudovector decays, in practice it is only used for pseudoscalar to two vector decays.
0039  *
0040  *  The incoming pseudoscalar meson, the outgoing vectors and the coupling can
0041  *  be specified using the relevant interfaces.
