and the lifetime τ = 1/&Gammaμ
(this is in "natural units", where ћ = c = 1)
(in these units, every quantity can be expressed in terms of powers of energy;
&Gammaμ has dimension of energy,
time and length have dimension (energy)-1
To get an expression in more familiar units,
replace GF by GF /(ћc)3 and m by mc2.
GF/(ћc)3 (mμc2)5
Γμ = -----------------------.
192π3
In these units, the relation between τ and Γμ is τ = ћ/Γμ.
Note:
mμ = 105.658 MeV/c2
ћc = 197.326 MeV fm
GF/(ћc)3 = 1.16637(1) x 10-5 GeV-2
GF = 8.962 x 10-5 MeV fm3
