Read it piece by piece
Symbol p_a
is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.
Symbol Omega
Omega occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.
Symbol c
c occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.
Symbol a
a is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.
Symbol g
g occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.
Symbol e^2pi u
pi u occurs below the fraction bar. The quantity above the bar is divided by this expression; zero is excluded as a denominator.
=
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
See an illustrated explanation →subtraction
Subtract the following term or group from the preceding one. A leading minus marks a negative quantity.
subscript
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
superscript
A raised number can be a power. When it is a label or bound, it selects a case or the upper limit of a sum; the formula’s structure distinguishes these uses.
See an illustrated explanation →Denominator: e^2pi u-1
The complete quantity below the fraction bar; it must be nonzero for this division.
How to interpret it
With a fixed numerator, increasing a nonzero denominator reduces the fraction. Read it with the definitions, units, and assumptions supplied by the article.
What the article says around this equation
Write the normalized accelerated spectrum in terms of the dimensionless ratio u c/a , using the exact Bose-Einstein shape derived above. Carrying out the normalization integral, \,(-1)^{-1}\,d = /(24) , using the standard result x(-1)^{-1}dx=/6 , gives the scale-family form . Every accelerated detector’s normalized spectrum is the same universal curve g , only rescaled by a/c . For two accelerations separated by a small increment, a and a+ a , standard calculus for a scale family gives, to leading order in a ,
