2.3 Calculation of branching ratios

This sections outlines calculations of the [lambda]( p ⁺ -> p ⁰ e⁺ n ) / [lambda]( p ⁺ -> µ⁺ n ) and [lambda]( p ⁺ -> e⁺ n ) / [lambda]( p ⁺ -> µ⁺ n ) branching ratios. The method uses a standard current algebra implementation of quantum field theory.

2.3.2 Calculation of [lambda]( p + -> e+ n ) / [lambda]( p + -> µ+ n ) branching ratio
