For a vertex (g/cW​)γμ(cV​−cA​γ5) into one massless color-singlet particle-antiparticle pair, the massive-vector spin average and two-body Lorentz-invariant phase space give Γ=g2mZ​(cV2​+cA2​)/(12πcW2​). With Standard Model neutral-current vector and axial couplings, one neutrino flavor has Γν​=g2mZ​/(96πcW2​) and one charged-lepton flavor has Γℓ​=Γν​(1−4sW2​+8sW4​). Chiral projectors already remove inactive neutrino helicities. These are tree-level massless results.
