Racah W-Coefficient

Related to the Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients by


\begin{displaymath}
(J_1J_2[J']J_3\vert J_1,J_2J_3[J''])=\sqrt{(2J'+1)(2J''+1)}\, W(J_1J_2JJ_3;J'J'')
\end{displaymath}

and


\begin{displaymath}
(J_1J_2[J']J_3\vert J_1J_3[J'']J_2)=\sqrt{(2J'+1)(2J''+1)}\, W(J_1'J_3J_2J'';JJ_1).
\end{displaymath}
