Why is the decay $\rho ^+ \rightarrow \rho ^0 \pi^+$ allowed by parity conservation and angular momentum conservation?

In the following decay: $$\rho ^+ \rightarrow \rho ^0 \pi^+$$ where $\rho^+$ and $\rho^0$has $J^P = 1^-$ and $\pi^+$ has $J^P = 0^-$ The parity conservation $P$ entails that $L$ (orbital angular ...

Parity of the pion, conservation of angular momentum

Here is the problem. The parity of the negative pion was deduced from a reaction of pion with deuteron which results in two neutrons. The deuteron has spin equal to one, pion has zero spin, both had ...
