Order of Decay Products

Decaying Particle Type of Mode Order of Decay Products
1st 2nd 3rd
Top 2 body mode: to Higgs Higgs Bottom
3 body mode: via charged Higgs/W quarks or leptons from W/Higgs Bottom
Gluino 2 body modes: without gluon Any Order
with gluon gluon colour neutral
3-body modes: Rparity conserved colour neutral q or qbar
Squark/Slepton 2 body modes: Gaugino/Gluino with Quark/Lepton Gaugino
Gluino
quark
lepton
3 body modes: Weak sparticle particles from W decay
Squark 2 body modes: Lepton Number Violated quark lepton
baryon number violated quark quark
Slepton 2 body modes: Lepton Number Violated q or qbar
Higgs 2 body modes: (s)quark-(s)qbar (s)q or (s)qbar
(s)lepton-(s)lepton (s)l or (s)lbar
3 body modes: colour neutral q or qbar
l or lbar
Gaugino 2 body modes: squark-quark q or sq
slepton-lepton l or sl
3 body modes: R-parity conserved colour neutral q or qbar
l or lbar
Gaugino/Gluino 3 body modes: R-parity violating Particles in the same order as the R-parity violating superpotential

The R-parity violating superpotential we use and the matrix elements for the R-parity violating decays are given in the preprint OUTP/26P
