Hi all,

How to know the value of kronecker delta integrale ## \int \delta(m_h-2E) dE ## ?S.
 
It doesn't make sense to have a Kronecker [itex]\delta[/itex] in this integral. Isn't this rather a Dirac [itex]\delta[/itex] distribution?

If so, you may use the formula
[tex]\int_{\mathbb{R}} \mathrm{d} x \delta[f(x)] g(x)=\sum_{j} \frac{1}{\left |f'(x_j) \right|} g(x_j),[/tex]
where [itex]f[/itex] is a function that has only 1st order roots [itex]x_j[/itex].
