Ask for Help: Is this operator reasonable in physics?

Is this kind of the operator is reasonable in physical sense?
$$\sum\limits_{\bf k_x,k_y} \alpha k_x c^\dag_{k_x,k_y}c_{k_x,k_y}$$

where $$\alpha$$ is contant, $$k_x , k_y$$ is wavevector
along the x and y direction.

It looks to me as if it's simply counting the total x component of the momentum in a two-dimensional system. The c^\dagger c is just the number operator.

I am not able to determine the reasonability of an operator without further context and understanding of its purpose and application in physics. However, based on the given information, it seems that this operator is related to the creation and annihilation of particles in a system described by wavevectors along the x and y directions. This type of operator is commonly used in quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of particles and their interactions. I would suggest seeking guidance from a physics expert or conducting further research on this topic to fully understand the implications and applications of this operator in physics.
