"Producing d Slash Notation in Momentum Space Integration

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on generating the d slash notation in momentum space integration using LaTeX. Users seek to replace the h-bar symbol (\hslash) with a d slash notation, specifically using the slashed package. The slashed package allows for the creation of overlapping symbols, which is essential for producing the desired notation. Key commands discussed include \slashed{D} for generating slashed characters and \newcommand for defining custom commands.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of the slashed package in LaTeX
  • Knowledge of mathematical notation in physics
  • Basic command definitions in LaTeX
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the slashed package documentation for advanced usage
  • Learn how to define custom commands in LaTeX using \newcommand
  • Research the integration of symbols in LaTeX for complex notations
  • Investigate the use of \mathchar for creating custom symbols in LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, mathematicians, and LaTeX users who need to create complex mathematical notations, particularly in the context of momentum space integration and slashed symbols.

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:
[tex]\hslash[/tex]
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.
