Is there somebody who can help me how to solve this integral

$$\int_{0}^{+\infty} dr r^{^{n+1}} e^{-\alpha r} j_l(kr)$$

This is the answer Mathematica gives:
 If[Re[a] > 0 && (Abs[Im[k]] < Re[a] || (Abs[Im[k]] == Re[a] && Re[n] < 0)) && (Re[k] > 0 || (Im[k] > 0 && Re[k] == 0)), 2^(-1 - l) a^(-2 - n) (k^2/a^2)^(l/2) Sqrt[\[Pi]] Gamma[2 + l + n] Hypergeometric2F1Regularized[1/2 (2 + l + n), 1/2 (3 + l + n), 3/2 + l, -(k^2/a^2)], Integrate[ E^(-a r) r^(1 + n) SphericalBesselJ[l, k r], {r, 0, \[Infinity]}, Assumptions -> Abs[Im[k]] > Re[a] || (Abs[Im[k]] >= Re[a] && Re[n] >= 0) || Re[k] < 0 || (Re[k] <= 0 && Im[k] <= 0) || Re[a] <= 0]]

## Integral over spherical Bessel function

I think you can relate the spherical Besselfunction to the normal J Bessel function by the definition:

and then use formula attached below which is taken from G & R

 Thanks guys. I think that given formula has error in the part where it derivative by alpha instead of betha. For me is important a process, how i can get it.
