Inverse Fourier Transform

I have to calculate (don't take in account the units, obviously the're extrange)

<br /> \phi (r)=\frac{1}{(2\pi\hbar)^{3/2}}\int d^{3}p\hspace{7mm}{e^{i\frac{-p\cdot r}{\hbar}}\Psi(p)}

<br /> \Psi(p)=\frac{B}{(1+\frac{p^2}{m^2})^2}<br />
I know that

<br /> d^{3}p=p^{2}Sin(\theta)dpd\theta d\phi

So i do

<br /> \phi (r)=\frac{1}{(2\pi\hbar)^{3/2}} \int p^{2}Sin(\theta)dpd\theta d\phi\hspace{7mm}{e^{i\frac{-p\cdot r Cos(\theta)}{\hbar}}\frac{B}{(1+\frac{p^2}{m^2})^2}<br /> }

but i use the change of variables

<br /> u=Cos(\theta);du=-Sin(\theta)d\theta

And the the integral take the form


<br /> \phi (r)=\frac{2\pi}{(2\pi\hbar)^{3/2}} \int_{1}^{-1}\int_{0}^{\infty}p^{2}dpdu \hspace{7mm}{e^{i\frac{-p\cdot r u}{\hbar}}\frac{B}{(1+\frac{p^2}{m^2})^2}<br /> }

Integrating

\phi (r)=\frac{2\pi} {(2\pi\hbar)^{3/2}} B \int_{0}^{\infty}pdp \hspace{7mm} \frac{\left(e^{i\frac{p r}{\hbar}}-e^{i\frac{p r}{\hbar}} \right){\frac{i p r}{hbar}\frac{1}{(1+\frac{p^2}{m^2})^2}

Multipliying for \frac{2}{2} to form a cosine, so it is

<br /> \phi (r)=\frac{2\pi} {(2\pi\hbar)^{3/2}}\frac{2 B\hbar}{i r} \int_{0}^{\infty}pdp \hspace{7mm} Cos(\frac{p r}{\hbar})\frac{1}{(1+\frac{p^2}{m^2})^2}<br /> }

Bu the las integral, it is just a nightmare... the results froma Mathetmatica 6.1 is:

\frac{1}{2} m^2 \sqrt{\pi } MeigerG[{{0},{}},{{0,1},{\frac{1}{2}},\frac{m^2 r^2}{4\hbar^2}]<br />

i as expecting the base level for the H atom \phi (r), so if somebody could help me please...

Na i found my error was a Sine not a cosine what I get afeter I do the first integral in du, I don't know why the page don't uptadete what I've write, but that was the error, mulltiply bi 2i/2i and you will get the base state for the H atom, THE ANSWER...
first part of the trip...
 
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
