Abstract
The mathematical background and typical applications in physics are presented for a recently tabulated function. Because of its properties, the P function should prove to be a useful aid in the solution of certain problems in applied mathematics involving surface integrations in cylindrical coordinates. A tabulation of the function in its normalized form is appended. Particular attention is paid to the application of the P function to multiple scattering problems involving circular symmetry.Keywords
