Description
The transition probabilities for neutrino production and cascade decay sequences of charged heavy leptons are calculated using a helicity formalism in which the separate stages are factored. This is an alternative to computer calculations of gamma-matrix traces, which sometimes lead to very cumbersome expressions for long decay chains
