+# Example decay table for the on-the-fly decayer (configurable "decayTable")
+# Overrides the TDatabasePDG decay channels of the listed mothers; unlisted particles are unaffected.
+# Format: <motherPdg>.<channelName>: <branchingRatio> <daughterPdg1> <daughterPdg2> ...
+# Branching ratios of each mother should sum to 1 (within 0.01); small deviations are renormalised.
