Abstract
In this paper, the integral \pmatrix{\lambda_1 &\lambda_2 &\lambda_3\cr 0 &0 &0\cr}\, \int_0^\infty \, r^{\lambda_3+2}\, \exp{(-\alpha r^2)}\, j_{\lambda_1}(k_1r) \,j_{\lambda_2}(k_2r) \,dr, where , and are positive, is evaluated analytically. The result is a finite sum over the modified spherical Bessel function of the first kind. This result will be useful for nuclear scattering calculations, where harmonic oscillator nuclear wavefunctions are used or when evaluating momentum space matrix elements for a Gaussian potential.
