description

The polarization observables for deuteron photodisintegration are given as Hermitean forms of theT-matrix elementsti. By inversion we are able to express a given productti*tj in terms of polarization observables. This allows (i) to derive linear relations between observables for unpolarized, circularly and linearly polarized photons, (ii) to construct explicitly complete sets of polarization observables, and (iii) to derive quadratic relations between observables.
