“…Later Pas [26], [27] extended Meuser's result to more general integrals. In view of [18] and [19], it is thus natural to expect that there exists a motivic rational function Z mot (T ) with coefficients in a certain Grothendieck ring such that, for every d ≥ 1, Z d (s) is obtained from Z mot (T ) by a counting procedure and by putting T equal to q −ds .…”
