[seqfan] Fwd: Crandall memorial puzzle

[Max Alekseyev]

SeqFans,

This looks like a nice sequence for the OEIS.
Would anybody familiar with Bessel functions care to add/extend it?

In honour of the memory of Richard Crandall (1947-2012), I
have devised a puzzle on prime numbers obtained from moments
of Bessel functions:

I commend this puzzle to Richard's many colleagues, noting
that "hand-to-hand combat with thousand-digit integrals" may
be insufficient to solve it, without using brain as well as
brawn. I have prepared a solution, together with a heuristic
analysis that I think Richard would have liked. This will be
released at the end of the year. Until then, happy puzzling.
