The sign, $\sigma_{\mathrm{side}}$, of $\xi$ depends on which side of the orientation vector $\left| a \right>$ the scattering vector $\left| Q \right>$ is located. The sign can be found by calculating the (covariant) cross product of $\left| a \right>$ and $\left| Q \right>$ to give an out-of-plane vector which can be compared with the given scattering plane up vector.
