The partial-wave (Jp) composition of the process ℓ+ℓ− → γγ is analyzed in lowest order quantum electrodynamics. The results for low-momentum leptons are as expected, the partial wave with Jp = 0− being dominant. At high energies, the partial wave with Jp = 2+ has the largest single partial cross section. At all energies, it is found that lepton pairs in the triplet state give rise exclusively to positive-parity final states, whereas pairs in the singlet state give rise to negative-parity final states.Some features of the differential cross section are also explained in terms of the spin state of the annihilating lepton pair. Possible implications for e+e− → γγ → hadrons and [Formula: see text] hadrons are briefly discussed.
