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}##.

I want to find the solution to the integral ##\theta = \int_0^{\theta}\frac{du}{\sqrt{(c-u^2 +2u^3)}}## I can see that ##\frac{d^2u}{d\theta^2} = A +Bu+Cu^2## is a Weierstrass elliptic function, which can be generated from ##\Large(\normalsize\frac{du}{d\theta}\Large)\normalsize^2 = c-u^2 +2u^3## (A = 0, B=-1, C=3) So does this make my integral an elliptic integral? I haven't been able to find a table of integrals anywhere which contains an integral of this form so I'm a bit stuck. TerryW
