I'm completely confused by page 202 of Weinberg's QTF, Vol.I.
In particular:
I can't find "Hankel" anywhere on PF, and wikipedia is no real help.
Surely integral (5.2.8) doesn't converge (the integrand oscillates between ±1)?
In fact, I think it's -∞.
So how can it be a standard function?
In particular:
[tex]
\Delta_+(x) = \frac{m}{4\pi^2\sqrt(x^2)} \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{udu}{\sqrt(u^2 + 1)}sin(mu\sqrt(x^2))\hspace{2.5cm}(5.2.8)
[/tex]
or, in terms of a standard Hankel function,
[tex]
\Delta_+(x) = \frac{m}{4\pi^2\sqrt(x^2)} K_1(m\sqrt(x^2))\hspace{0.5cm}.\hspace{4cm}(5.2.9)
[/tex]
