    Estimate top quark branching ratios without calculating

    It seemed to me really strange to get 95%, in fact, but I am definitely not getting the point :frown:

    Estimate top quark branching ratios without calculating

    No, it is just a flavour eigenstate. I have to consider the CKM matrix relating flavour to mass eigenstates... So, given the CKM element ## V_{cs} = 0.974 ##, the probability for W to decay into c anti-s should be its square, ## 0.974^2 \approx 0.95 ## ? But what about the leptonic channel?

    Estimate top quark branching ratios without calculating

    Homework Statement Hi, I need to get an estimate of the branching ratios of the processes [/B] t ---> b + W ---> b + c anti-s t ---> b + W ---> b + anti-tau nu(tau) without doing the calculations, just a qualitative estimation. I know I have to take into account the way W decays...
