Description:
'The WA46 experiment measured the asymmetry parameter in the decays $\Omega^-\to\Lambda^0K^-$,
   $\Omega^-\to\Xi^0\pi^-$ and $\Omega^-\to\Xi^-\pi^0$.
   In practice
   this is a fit to a normalised distribution $\frac12(1+\alpha\cos\theta)$.
   The paper only gives the number for the $\alpha$ parameter and not the distribution, so the
   distribution is calculated. The $\alpha$ parameter is then extracted using a $\chi^2$ fit.
   This analysis is useful for testing spin correlations
   in hadron decays.'
