Branching fraction
PROPORTION OF A NUCLEAR OR PARTICLE DECAY GOING TO A GIVEN DECAY MODE
Branching Ratio; Branching ratio; Branching ratios; Branching rate; Decay branch; Decay branches; Branched decay
In particle physics and nuclear physics, the branching fraction (or branching ratio) for a decay is the fraction of particles which decay by an individual decay mode with respect to the total number of particles which decay. It is equal to the ratio of the partial decay constant to the overall decay constant.
