Branching fraction matrix of pair decays

Matrix of the different types of decays of a pair of Standard Model particles like the tau lepton, W boson, top, Higgs, …

Decay modes of two tau leptons (where τ_h stands for hadronic decay):Branching fractions of ditau decay:Branching fractions of ditau decay without charge sign, and the area proportional to the branching fraction:Alternative version:Branching fraction of a pair of top quarks (ttbar):Alternative version without charge signs:Branching fractions of a pair of Higgs bosons (areas are again proportional to the branching fraction):
