Symbol D_rm det

DdetD_{\rm det}
DdetD_{\rm det}

What this part means

well defined, it can be evaluated, and the cleanest case where it is well defined and non-trivial is a comparison between two accelerated trajectories, both with finite normalizable spectra, differing only slightly in acceleration.

Its job in the formula

DrD_rm det is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Where DdetD_{\rm det} is well defined, it can be evaluated, and the cleanest case where it is well defined and non-trivial is a comparison between two accelerated trajectories, both with finite normalizable spectra, differing only slightly in acceleration.

The passage around this formula

Where DdetD_{\rm det} is well defined, it can be evaluated, and the cleanest case where it is well defined and non-trivial is a comparison between two accelerated trajectories, both with finite normalizable spectra, differing only slightly in acceleration. This is the one calculation in this article carried to an explicit number, and it is carried out by hand, exactly, as a leading-order (linear-response) expansion — not a simulation, and not a claim about any measured system.
