For timelike future , , write

In the rest frame of ,

and the angular distribution of is uniform. Its normalized moments are

Proof. The spatial delta sets . The energy delta has radial Jacobian . Combining the measure factors gives , with normalized angular measure .

Rotation invariance makes the second moment a multiple of , determined by . The fourth moment is a multiple of the three displayed Kronecker products; double contraction determines .
