Polarization observables in pseudoscalar meson production g target recoil Observable 4 Complex amplitudes - 16 real polarization observables. A complete measurement from 8 carefully chosen observables. I. S. Barker, A. Donnachie, J. K. Storrow, Nucl. Phys. B (1975).

Polarization observables - a simple example, Systematics of detector acceptance cancel out. Only need to know P lin, the degree of linear polarization.
