Unpolarized resonance spin factor ($g=(2J_R+1)/[(2s_a+1)(2s_b+1)]$)

For unpolarized incident particles, the resonant cross section sums over the resonance's magnetic substates and averages over the incident spin states. This gives the displayed statistical weight under the conventional Breit-Wigner resonance cross section normalization. A spin-zero resonance formed from two spin-half particles has $g=1/4$, whereas a spin-one resonance has $g=3/4$. This counting is distinct from final-state color charge multiplicities.
