AI Thread Summary
The expression $$E^2_k|_{k=k_{res}}$$ refers to the evaluation of the energy density function $$E^2_k$$ at the specific wave vector value $$k_{res}$$. The notation after the vertical line indicates that the function is being assessed at a particular point rather than over an interval, distinguishing it from definite integrals. The context suggests that $$k_{res}$$ may relate to a resonance condition in synchrotron radiation. Clarification on the textbook reference could provide further insights. Understanding this notation is crucial for interpreting energy density in relation to wave vectors in physics.

Hi, just wondering what this thing means.
$$
E^2_k|_{k=k_{res}}
$$
Just the k=k(res) after the vertical line. There is no definition in the textbook but in math does that mean from K=K(res) to something that can be dependent on a function or a situation?

Like definite integrals answer $$x|^3_2=3-2=1$$

Without additional context it's hard to say. However, I don't think it's like a definite integral. Can you post a clear picture of the textbook page where this appears?
 
$$
\left(\begin{array}{c}
D_{\psi \psi} \\
D_{\psi p}=D_{p \psi} \\
D_{p p}
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}
\left.D \frac{\delta}{\gamma^2} E_k^2\right|_{k=k_{\text {res }}} \\
-\left.D \frac{\psi m c}{\gamma} E_k^2\right|_{k=k_{\text {res }}} \\
\left.D \frac{\psi^2 m^2 c^2}{\delta} E_k^2\right|_{k=k_{\text {res }}}
\end{array}\right),
\space where \space
E_k^2=\hbar \omega(k) n(k)=\int \frac{k^2 d \Omega}{(2 \pi)^2} \hbar \omega(\mathbf{k}) n(\mathbf{k})
$$
is energy density per unit of a one-dimensional wave vector and we assumed that ω(k) is an isotropic function of k.
we know that k is a wave vector (and the index "res" could be a doppler resonance for short) but what does it mean in that context (with E^2)?

This is from synchrotron radiation texbook.

I'll try to find the book.

It means ##E^2_k## evaluated at ##k=k_{res}##.

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
Thread 'Stacked blocks & pulley system'
I've posted my attempt at a solution but I haven't gone through the whole process of putting together equations 1 -4 yet as I wanted to clarify if I'm on the right path My doubt lies in the formulation of equation 4 - the force equation for the stacked block. Since we don't know the acceleration of the masses and we don't know if mass M is heavy enough to cause m2 to slide, do we leave F_{12x} undetermined and not equate this to \mu_{s} F_{N} ? Are all the equations considering all...
