Mode | Fraction ($\Gamma_i$ / $\Gamma$) | Scale Factor/ Conf. Level |
P(MeV/c) | |||
$\Gamma_{1}$ | ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}$ | ($99.98770$ $\pm0.00004$) $ \times 10^{-2}$ | 30 |
Note: | Measurements of $\Gamma ({{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}})/\Gamma ({{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}$) always include decays with ${{\mathit \gamma}}$'s, and measurements of $\Gamma ({{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$) and $\Gamma ({{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$) never include low-energy ${{\mathit \gamma}}$'s. Therefore, since no clean separation is possible, we consider the modes with ${{\mathit \gamma}}$'s to be subreactions of the modes without them, and let [$\Gamma ({{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}$) $+$ $\Gamma ({{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}})]/\Gamma _{{\mathrm {total}}}$ = 100$\%$. |
