Homework Statement
I was wondering if there is some sort of trick to calculate the following:
[tex]\int{-{{e}^{-\varepsilon /{{k}_{B}}T}}}{{\varepsilon }^{3/2}}d\varepsilon \,[/tex]
It's the derivative of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, excluding the constants, times an energy in the power of (3/2).
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I've found the solution from 0 to infinity if the energy was powered in n (n being an integer), but I haven't been able to find anything when it's a half-integer.
So is there some sort of trick to do this, or...?
Thanks in advance.
