// be in the same rest frame.  Note that for the first level of the tree there
// is no grandparent and thus <0,0,0,1> should be passed in for g.  When there
// is no parent the angles need to be calculated by simply by calculating polar
// and azymuthal angles in the rest frame of the resonance (since this will
// generally be the root particle and is generally at rest the polar and
