The passage around this formula

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+δ\delta a , standard calculus for a scale family gives, to leading order in δ\delta a , Ddet(a, a+δa)  ≈  [max⁡u>0u g(u)]⋅∣δa∣aD_{\rm det}(a,\, a+\delta a) \;\approx\; \left[\max_{u>0} u\,g(u)\right] \cdot \frac{|\delta a|}{a}. This is the same trick used to derive Wien’s displacement law: because u\,g(u) rises from zero, passes through a single interior maximum, and falls back to zero, the integral of the absolute value of its derivative over all u is exactly twice that maximum, with no need to evaluate the integral directly. Finding the maximum of u\,g(u) = 24\,u2u^2/(e2πue^{2\pi u}-1) means solving e2πu(1−πu)e^{2\pi u}(1-\pi u)=1 , the same class of…
