Integration of Heaviside (step) function

Question

Ok, I do not have much experiencing using (or even integrating) Heaviside-step functions, so I am looking for a little help. The integral in question is, \begin{equation} 6m^2\int_0^\infty d\mu \frac{1}{\mu^3}\sqrt{1 - \frac{4m^2}{\mu^2}}\theta(\mu-2m) \end{equation} where $\theta$ is the step-function. Any help direct help or hints is of course appreciated. (The reason it is actually in here in the first place is that without it the integral is divergent). I was thinking about performing integration by parts to turn the step-function into a delta-function $\delta(\mu-2m)$ but then the integral in the end would just give 0 when I know this integral is equal to $1/2$ (I am just trying to show that).

Answer 1

Notice that $$ \theta(\mu-2m)= \begin{cases} 0\,\,\text{if}\,\,\mu<2m, \\ 1\,\,\text{if}\,\,\mu>2m. \end{cases} $$ Therefore, $$ \int_0^\infty d\mu \frac{1}{\mu^3}\sqrt{1 - \frac{4m^2}{\mu^2}}\theta(\mu-2m)= \int_{2m}^\infty d\mu \frac{1}{\mu^3}\sqrt{1 - \frac{4m^2}{\mu^2}}. $$
