Abstract
A method is presented for determining the spin, using only angular momentum conservation and the rules of quantum mechanics. The method is based on a proof that, in the reaction , the decay intensity associated with a given direction of the spin cannot be isotropic at any production angle, if the spin is equal to or greater than two.
