Problem

The pion (π\pi) is a boson (with spin zero) with isotopic spin I=1I = 1. (a) Use our ``extended `identical' boson symmetry principle'' to classify the allowed (I,J)(I, J) values for a system of two pions. Here, JJ refers to the relative angular momentum, and II to the total isotopic spin, of the two pion state.
