 /** \ingroup Decay
  *
  *  This class is designed for the decay of a vector meson to another spin-1 
  *  particle, either another vector meson or a photon, and a pseduoscalar meson.
  *  The matrix element for the decay is 
  *  \f[\mathcal{M} = g\epsilon^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} 
  *     \epsilon_{0\mu} p_{0\nu}  p_{1\alpha} \epsilon_{1\beta}, \f]
  *  where \f$p_0\f$ is the momentum of the decaying particle, \f$p_1\f$ is the momentum
  *  of the outgoing vector particle, \f$\epsilon_0\f$ is the polarization vector of
  * the incoming meson and \f$\epsilon_1\f$ is the polarization vector of the
  * outgoing vector particle..
  *
  *  Examples of such decays are \f$\rho\to\pi\gamma\f$.
  *
  *  The incoming vector mesons together with their decay products and the coupling 
  *  \f$g\f$ can be specified using the interfaces for the class. The maximum weights
  *  for the decays can be calculated using the Initialize interface of the
  *  DecayIntegrator class or specified using the interface.
  *
  *  The incoming and outgoing particles, couplings and maximum weights for
  *  many of the common \f$V\to PV\f$ decays are specified in the default
  *  constructor.
  *
  * @see DecayIntegrator
  * @see \ref VectorMesonVectorPScalarDecayerInterfaces "The interfaces"
  * defined for VectorMesonVectorPScalarDecayer.
