This model has a finite total mass for :math:`\beta > 3`. The other power-law
3333
parameters should satisfy :math:`\alpha > 0` and :math:`0 \leq \gamma < 3`.

This model also reduces to a number of well-known analytic forms for certain values

of the parameters (reproduced from Table 1 of Zhao 1996):
