What does half sum mean?

$\begingroup$

Just a short question: I'm reading about Newton polynomials () and I'm wondering, what the "half-sum of the positive roots" (page 9 'notation') is. Is it something like $$\frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{\alpha\in R^{+}}\alpha ?$$ I can't find a definition of this term anywhere.
