Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the expression $$E^2_k|_{k=k_{res}}$$, specifically focusing on the meaning of the notation following the vertical line. Participants are exploring its implications in the context of physics, particularly in relation to wave vectors and energy density.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the meaning of the notation and whether it resembles concepts from definite integrals. Some are seeking clarification on its application in the context of synchrotron radiation and energy density.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants expressing uncertainty about the notation and its implications. Some have requested additional context, such as a textbook reference, to better understand the expression.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of a lack of definitions in the textbook regarding the notation, and participants are considering the possibility of it being related to a specific situation or function. The term "res" is speculated to refer to a resonance condition.

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}##.
