Summary

A physics lecture on angular momentum in quantum mechanics, using particle decays and photon polarization to derive angular distributions and selection rules. It then generalizes rotation matrices for arbitrary spin, especially spin 3/2 and spin 2, and ends with a discussion of combining angular momenta for photon-proton scattering.
