The branching fraction measurements are for an admixture of ${{\mathit B}}$ mesons and baryons at energies above the ${{\mathit \Upsilon}{(4S)}}$. Only the highest energy results (LHC, LEP, Tevatron, S${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$S) are used in the branching fraction averages. In the following, the production fractions are provided separately at three different colliders (LEP, ${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ Tevatron, and ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ LHC) and are used for the subsequent measurements accordingly.
For inclusive branching fractions, $\mathit e.g.,$ ${{\mathit B}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit D}^{\pm}}$ anything, the values usually are multiplicities, not branching fractions. They can be greater than one. The modes below are listed for a ${{\overline{\mathit b}}}$ initial state. ${{\mathit b}}~$modes are their charge conjugates. Reactions indicate the weak decay vertex and do not include mixing. |
