Abstract
Geometrical relationships illustrate the significance of the transformation between new and orbital quantum numbers. The semiclassical analysis of 6j coefficients by Ponzano and Regge clarifies the geometrical relationships and identifies a classically forbidden range, which can be singled out for its small contribution to the summation over the partial waves relevant to observable parameters (differential cross section and orientation).Keywords
