Description

The first-order electroweak and QCD corrections to the top quark decay width Γ(t → W+b) are presented for the W-boson on shell. Using GF and MW to parametrize the Born decay width, the electroweak corrections are below 2% even for large top quark masses. The QCD corrections are ≅ - 10% and depend only weakly on the top quark mass, too. (orig.)
