LaTeX "Producing d Slash Notation in Momentum Space Integration

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on producing the d slash notation in integration measures for momentum space using LaTeX. The goal is to replace the h-bar symbol (ħ) with a d slash notation (d̸). The user references a PDF that suggests the command \slashd, but there is uncertainty about its support and whether a specific package is needed. The slashed package is mentioned as a tool for creating overlapped symbols, originally intended for Feynman diagrams, with examples provided for customizing slashed characters. The user learns that LaTeX uses overlapping images to create the h-bar symbol, specifically using the code \mathchar'26 for the bar. The focus now is on finding the appropriate code for the slash to complete the desired notation.

does anyone knw the code for how to produce the d slash notation in the integration measure for momentum space? Where (d slash)^n X=(d^n)X/((2pi)^n).
Basically all i want to do is replace the h:
\hslash
with a d.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-letter.pdf suggests that \slashd does something like that not sure if it's supported or if you need a package (search for slash in that pdf)

Also check out p.100:

"The slashed package, although originally designed for producing Feynman
facilitates the production of arbitrary overlapped symbols. The default behavior
with \=". For example, \slashed{D} produces \ = D". However, the \declareslashed
exibility to specify the mathematical context of the composite character
will be discussed in Section 7.4), the overlapping symbol, horizontal symbolrelative
units, and the character to be overlapped. Consider, for example,
moment (\ - I"). This can be declared as follows:
\newcommand{\rqm}{{%
\declareslashed{}{\text{-}}{0.04}{0}{I}\slashed{I}}}"
 
thanks for the reply. So now i know that latex imposes to images over each other to produce hbar, with the code \mathchar'26 which corresponds to the 'bar'.
Now if i can just find the code for the 'slash' in \hslash, then I am done.
