/**
* The SpinInfo is the base class for the spin information for the
* spin correlation algorithm. The implementations for different spin
* states inherit from this.
*
* The class contains pointers to the vertex where the particle is
* produced and where it decays, together with methods to set/get
* these.
*
* There are two flags decayed which store information on the state
* of the particle.
*
* The decayed() members provides access to the _decay data member
* which is true if the spin density matrix required to perform the
* decay of a timelike particle has been calculated (this would be a
* decay matrix for a spacelike particle.) This is set by the
* decay() method which calls a method from the production vertex to
* calculate this matrix. The decay() method should be called by a
* decayer which uses spin correlation method before it uses the
* spin density matrix to calculate the matrix element for the
* decay.
*
* The developed() member provides access to the _developed data
* member which is true if the decay matrix required to perform the
* decays of the siblings of a particle has been calculated (this
* would a spin density matrix for a spacelike particle.) This is
* set by the developed() method which calls a method from the decay
* vertex to calculate the matrix. The developed() method is called
* by a DecayHandler which is capable of performing spin
* correlations after all the unstable particles produced by a
* decaying particle are decayed.
*
* Methods are also provided to access the spin density and decay
* matrices for a particle.
