¿Are conserved the spin and orbital parts of the angular momentum?
For example , we have a particle decay into two photons, and you want to see if the angular momentum is conserved:
J(total angular momentum)=S(spin)+L(orbital)
The question is:
-¿only total J is conserved? (and s or l can change)
or
-¿S is conserved and L is conserved also?
Thanks
