I am unable to use \underbrace in elsarticle template

Question

In the elsarticle template, I am not able to use the command \underbrace, whereas, in a simple latex file, the command is working fine. Following is the code:

\documentclass[review,12pt,3p,times]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{esint}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
E_i=\underbrace{\left(H_1+H_2 S_h +H_3 \left(\frac{T-T_0}{T_0}\right)\right)}_{\text{H}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

I have attached a picture of this also.

Please add a minimal example of code reproducing the issue, not a link. — egreg, May 10 '23 at 16:43

It's bad interaction between txfonts (that's loaded with the times option to elsarticle) and esint. Indeed, we see

\documentclass[review,12pt,3p,times]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{esint}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\underbrace{aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}_{\text{text}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

produces

Don't use times, but load NewTX.

\documentclass[review,12pt,3p]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{esint}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\underbrace{aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}_{\text{text}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
