Abstract
I propose a new evaluation of and branching ratios which avoids the correlations affecting the current Particle Data Group evaluation. These correlations explain the apparent technique-dependent discrepancies between the available determinations of the and under the hypotesis that the current values of the branching ratios are overestimated. In the process I also noticed that Particle Data Group has not restated many of the older measurements, when necessary, for the new value of , which significantly affects the evaluation of some relevant and exclusive branching ratios.
