Hi everybody,
This is my first post in this forum although I started following it some time ago. My question is related to rotational properties involving harmonic oscillator model.
We are told to evaluate the expectation value of the rotational constant of a diatomic molecule for each vibrational state considering the Harmonic Oscillator model. I have started with the ground vibrational state, but the entire solution of the problem should include an expression for the dependence of the expectation value of B on the quantum number [itex]\upsilon[/itex] and other parameters.

Do you agree with the way I am solving the problem? I don´t find the last gaussian-like definite integral in any of the tables I have consulted and I cannot find the solution by myself. Could you make me a suggestion about it?
Thanks in advance.
