Explicit formulas for the resulting Bessel functions are obtained by solving systems of differential equations. The formulas are applied to derive an integral representation for a global $L$-function on GSp(4)xGL(2) involving a vector-valued Siegel modular form of degree 2.34 pagesNumber Theory11F70 (Primary) 11F46, 11F67 (Secondary)Bessel models for lowest weight representations of GSp(4,R)text
