The printed integration labels need correction. The parent's four-momentum is fixed, so the two Lorentz-invariant phase-space measures must integrate and , rather than the printed and . Write and , . The physical decay width is
The spatial Dirac delta function sets . Performing the angular integral in spherical coordinates, with , gives the integrated two-body decay phase space
The positive root is . Since , the Dirac delta function integration yields . Thus
The two final particles have different species, so there is no identical final-state symmetry factor. The result tends to as and vanishes at the two-particle decay threshold.
