On a remarkable formula of Ramanujan

A simple proof of Ramanujan’s formula for the Fourier transform of |Γ ( a  + it )| 2 is given where a is fixed and has positive real part and t is real. The result is extended to other values of a by solving an inhomogeneous ODE, and we use it to calculate the jump across the imaginary axis.
