Homework Statement
Normalization of radial Laguerre-Gauss
Normalize [tex] \Psi _n (r) = h_n L_n (2\pi r^2) e^{-\pi r^2} [/tex]
Homework Equations
[tex]\int _0 ^{\infty} e^{-x} \, x^k \, L_n ^{(k)} (x) \, L_m ^{(k)} (x) dx = \frac{(n+k)!}{n!} \delta _{m,n} [/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]1 = \int _0 ^{\infty} \Psi _m ^{\ast} (r) \Psi _n (r) dr = \int _0 ^{\infty} h_m ^{\ast} L_m (2\pi r^2) e^{-\pi r^2} h_n L_n (2\pi r^2) e^{-\pi r^2} dr [/tex]
If I let [itex] x = 2\pi r^2[/itex], then I get [itex] dx = (4\pi r) dr[/itex]. The radial dependence bothers me. I think there's a step I'm missing out.
