$$\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\infty} \:\:\frac{{dx}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{z}}\:=\frac{{e}^{−\frac{{i}\theta}{\mathrm{2}}} }{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{r}}}\left[{ln}\left(\frac{{x}−\sqrt{{r}}{e}^{\frac{{i}\theta}{\mathrm{2}}} }{{x}+\sqrt{{r}}{e}^{\frac{{i}\theta}{\mathrm{2}}} }\right)\right]_{\mathrm{0}} ^{+\infty} =\frac{{e}^{−\frac{{i}\theta}{\mathrm{2}}} }{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{r}}}\left(−{ln}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)\right)\:=\frac{{i}\pi}{\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{r}}\right){e}^{\frac{{i}\theta}{\mathrm{2}}} } \\ $$$$=\frac{{i}\pi}{\mathrm{4}\sqrt{{r}}{e}^{\frac{{i}\theta}{\mathrm{2}}} }\:\:\:{with}\:{z}\:={r}\:{e}^{{i}\theta} \:. \\ $$
