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 $\phi$ = [($\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ee}{\times }\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ {{\mathit \pi}} {{\mathit \pi}} }$) $\cdot{}$ $\hat{{\mathit z}}$] ($\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ee}\cdot{}\hat{{\mathit n}}_{ {{\mathit \pi}} {{\mathit \pi}} }$) , and ${{\mathit A}_{{\phi}}}{}\equiv$ ${{{\mathit N}_{{{sin{{\mathit \phi}}~cos{{\mathit \phi}}>0}}}}~−~{{\mathit N}_{{{sin{{\mathit \phi}}~cos{{\mathit \phi}}<0}}}}\over {{\mathit N}_{{{sin{{\mathit \phi}}~cos{{\mathit \phi}}>0}}}}~+~{{\mathit N}_{{{sin{{\mathit \phi}}~cos{{\mathit \phi}}<0}}}} }$ .
