Abstract
Using the helicity amplitude technique, we derive differential decay widths and angular distributions for the decay cascade , in which the electron and muon mass is explicitly included. Using a set of phenomenological results for form factors, we calculate partial decay widths and branching fractions for and , but find that results for are about a factor 1.5 larger than recent BESIII measurements. We further demonstrate that the measurement of up-down asymmetry in and angular distributions in can help to determine the hadronic amplitude requested in .
