At leading order, for final fermions much lighter than the Z boson, the partial decay width is proportional to . Here is the final-state color multiplicity in a decay width, and , are the dimensionless left- and right-chirality couplings. The common normalization cancels in ratios.
For an Electron, , . For one active neutrino flavour, , . Therefore
There is no extra flavour factor for a single specified neutrino species. Summing the three active species produces three times that invisible partial width, within the same massless approximation.
