We give analytic formulas for the decay rates in the presence of a complete basis of QED×QCD-invariant operators. The constraints are obtained at the experimental scale, then translated to the weak scale via one-loop renormalization group equations. The large renormalization-group mixing between tensor and (pseudo)scalar operators weakens the constraints on scalar and pseudoscalar operators at the weak scale. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01861994/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01861994/file/PhysRevD.99.015032.pdf %L hal-01861994 %U https://hal.science/hal-01861994 %~ IN2P3 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-LYON1 %~ LUPM %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ LUPM_IFAC %~ IP2I %~ UDL %~ UNIV-LYON %~ CMS %~ IPM %~ PHABIO %~ MANOIR %~ THEORIE %~ COSMOLOGIE %~ MATNUC %~ NEUTRINOS_IP2I %~ ONDES_GRAVITATIONNELLES %~ MATICE %~ UM-2015-2021
