51. The QQ decay table we used assumed (Formula presented) A more recent measurement [CDF Collaboration, F. Abe, Phys. Rev. D 55, 1142 (1997)] finds a smaller value; (Formula presented) We found that using the smaller value has only a very small effect compared to the systematic error assigned to the (Formula presented) contribution. Therefore we did not update the result using the new published result.
