Summary

Overall, the $Z(T,D)$ is found by:

\begin{eqnarray*}
\log(\beta_D) & \approx & -\frac{1}{2} \log(D) + \frac{1}{2} ...
...+ 3 Z_n^{-4})} \quad \mathrm{for~} n=1,2,3 \\
Z & \approx & Z_3
\end{eqnarray*}



This approximation has a relative accuracy of $10^{-3}$ or better for

$D \ge 15$ and $T \ge 7.5$
$D<15$ and $-14.5 > \log(p) \approx -\frac{1}{2} \log(D) - \log(\beta_D) - \log(T) - \frac{D-1}{2} \log\left(1 + \frac{T^2}{D}\right)$

Outside this valid domain, the probability is always greater than $10^{-14}$ and can therefore be calculated by conventional means.
