The prospects for measuring the branching fraction of at the International Linear Collider (ILC) have been evaluated based on a full detector simulation of the International Large Detector (ILD) concept, considering centre-of-mass energies (
) of 250 GeV and 500 GeV with two different beam polarisation configurations of
and
. For both
cases, the two final states
and
have been analyzed. For integrated luminosities of 2
at
GeV and 4
at
GeV, the combined precision on the branching fraction of
is estimated to be 17%. The impact of the transverse momentum resolution for this analysis is also studied.
