Hi, I am bit confused by these numbers. Let' take the resonant ones. In the DECAY.DEC we have (B0 for instance): 0.000180 pi+ e- anti-nu_e PHOTOS ISGW2; 0.000260 rho+ e- anti-nu_e PHOTOS ISGW2; 0.000165 a_1+ e- anti-nu_e PHOTOS ISGW2; 0.000102 b_1+ e- anti-nu_e PHOTOS ISGW2; 0.000014 a_0+ e- anti-nu_e PHOTOS ISGW2; 0.000014 a_2+ e- anti-nu_e PHOTOS ISGW2; pi and rho cannot go in kaons. 60% is already gone. This implies that a_1,b_1, ecc.. have to go in the 25% of the cases in kaons. I see: Decay a_1+ 0.4920 rho0 pi+ VVS_PWAVE 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.5080 rho+ pi0 VVS_PWAVE 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0; Decay b_1+ 0.9984 omega pi+ VVS_PWAVE 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.0016 pi+ gamma VSP_PWAVE; Decay a_0+ 0.9000 eta pi+ PHSP; 0.1000 anti-K0 K+ PHSP; Decay a_2+ 0.3500 rho0 pi+ TVS_PWAVE 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.3500 rho+ pi0 TVS_PWAVE 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.1440 eta pi+ TSS; 0.1050 omega pi+ pi0 PHSP; 0.0480 anti-K0 K+ TSS; 0.0030 pi+ gamma PHSP; Only a_0 and a_2 can contribute. Then it should be 10%*2% + 5%*2% = 0.3% Similar argument for the B+. Then, where does that 10% come from? What am I missing here?
