Integrals of the Bessel functions of the first kind

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around two specific integrals involving the Bessel function of the first kind, J_0(at). The first integral, f(x,a), is recognized in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik as equal to K_0(ax) for a > 0 and Re x > 0. The second integral, g(x,a), is suggested to be related to hypergeometric functions and is referenced in Watson's "A Treatise on the Theory of Bessel Functions." The original poster seeks clarification on whether these integrals have established names or are well-known within mathematical literature. The inquiry highlights the complexity and significance of these integrals in mathematical analysis.

Hi Physics Forums.

I am wondering if I can be so lucky that any of you would know, if these two functions -- defined by the bellow integrals -- have a "name"/are well known. I have sporadically sought through the entire Abramowitz and Stegun without any luck.

f(x,a) = \int_0^\infty\frac{t\cdot J_0(at)}{t^2 + x^2}\,\mathrm{d}t

and

g(x,a) = \int_0^\infty\frac{t^2\cdot J_0(at)}{t^2 + x^2}\,\mathrm{d}t

where J_0(x) is the Bessel function of the first kind.

This one is 6.532.4 in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, equal to ##K_0(ax)## for ##a>0, \text{Re}~x>0##.

g(x,a) = \int_0^\infty\frac{t^2\cdot J_0(at)}{t^2 + x^2}\,\mathrm{d}t

I think this one falls into a class of integrals solved in Watson's A Treatise on the Theory of Bessel Functions, expressible as hypergeometric functions. I attached the relevant page:
