Question: Use the conservation of angular momentum and parity to determine possible angular momentum states in the reaction p + p + +

Use the conservation of angular momentum and parity to determine possible angular momentum states in the reaction p + p̅ → π+ + π and express the allowed transitions in spectroscopic notation for initial states in which the orbital angular momentum is L = 0, 1 or 2. Does taking account of C invariance impose any further restrictions on this reaction?
