  • $\begingroup$ The units aren't making much sense to me. $d_i$ has units of momentum$^3$, and you're proposed $\int\bar n_i\ \text dE$ has units of energy (or number$\cdot$energy) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @BioPhysicist I know that expression wouldn't be correct and there would have to be some other term to correct the units. I was just trying to say I was confused where momentum came into play--integrating over momentum might give us the correct units, but why does it give us the number density? $\endgroup$
