Massless leptonic Z decay width

ID: massless-leptonic-z-decay-width

For a vertex into one massless color-singlet particle-antiparticle pair, the massive-vector spin average and two-body Lorentz-invariant phase space give . With Standard Model neutral-current vector and axial couplings, one neutrino flavor has and one charged-lepton flavor has . Chiral projectors already remove inactive neutrino helicities. These are tree-level massless results.
