Decays of unstable heavy particles usually involve the coherent sum of several amplitudes, like in a multiple slit experiment. Dedicated amplitude analysis techniques have been widely used to resolve these amplitudes for better understanding of the underlying dynamics. In special cases where two spin-1/2 particles and two (pseudo-) scalar particles are present in the process, multiple equivalent solutions are found owing to intrinsic symmetries in the summed probability density function. In this study, the problem of multiple solutions is discussed, and a scheme to overcome this problem is proposed by fixing some free parameters. Toys are generated to validate the strategy. A new approach to align the helicities of initial- and final-state particles in different decay chains is also introduced.
