Does the following expression has a closed form
begin{align}
E left[ | Z|^k exp(t |Z|^2)right]
end{align}

for $k$ is even and $Z$ is standard normal vector.



For the case of $k=2$ the computation is very easy. For $k=1/2$ see here Compute $E[ sqrt{Q} e^{-tQ} ]$ where $Q$ is non-central chi-square random variable..



However, this question is about even $k$. I there a way to use a binomina theorem to solve this ?

          In hyperspherical coordinates in $mathbb R^n$, the integral becomes
          $$operatorname E left[ lVert Z rVert^k e^{t lVert Z rVert^2} right] =
          (2 pi)^{-n/2} S_{n - 1} int_0^infty
          rho^{k + n - 1} e^{t rho^2 - rho^2/2} drho = \
          2^{k/2} (1 - 2 t)^{(-k - n)/2} left( frac n 2 right)_{k/2},$$

          where $S_n$ is the surface area of a unit $n$-sphere and $(n)_k$ is the rising factorial.

          • We integrate $lVert x rVert^k e^{t lVert x rVert^2} f_Z(x)$ over $mathbb R^n$, $x = (x_1, dots, x_n)$. The Jacobian of the coordinate transformation to spherical coordinates also gives the area element of a sphere of radius $rho$, therefore integrating the Jacobian over the spherical angles gives the area of the sphere; $lVert x rVert$ and $f_Z(x)$ depend only on $rho$.
