The second integral in (7) contributes only finite terms, but it is importan as determining the imaginary part of a and thus the rate of clissipatior We may write it

Pocklington shows that the imaginary part of (13) can be expressed b means of Bessel's functions. We may take

The imaginary part of (13) is thus simply
