Description
How much information is added to the Review of Particle
Physics when a new decay branching ratio of a hadron is measured and
reported? This is quantifiable by Shannon's information entropy. It may
be used at two levels, the distribution of decay-channel probabilities,
and the distribution of individual quantum-state probabilities
(integrating the later provides the former). We illustrate the concept
with some examples.
