Tree-level W branching fractions

ID: tree-level-w-branching-fractions

With three massless lepton families, two accessible up-type quarks, three colors, and no Quantum chromodynamics radiative correction, a W boson has total decay width . With an identity CKM matrix, each leptonic channel has branching fraction and each of the two allowed quark-flavour channels has . With mixing, each accessible quark channel is weighted by , while row unitarity preserves the total at this order if all down-type channels are accessible.
