Abstract
Only phase space is typically used to obtain final state particle spectra in rare decay searches, which is a crude approximation in the case of three body processes. We will demonstrate how both dynamics and phase space can be approximately accounted for, in processes such as nucleon decays or originating from Grand Unification models, using general effective Fermi theory formalism of electroweak muon decay . This approach allows for a more precise and only weakly model dependent approximation of final particle spectra for these and similar decays, which may improve rare process searches in current and near-future experiments.
