It doesn't matter if B depends on A since they are not being
integrated over.

Let me try this a bit differently. I have done the calculation, so can
you be so kind as to do a quick look for errors and let me know if
anything appears amiss. Linked below, <1 page.

If it does not open (George, you and I have that problem -- probably our
Vista computers?), then download it and open it.

I finally got the link to open up.
Equation (1) is correct according to Mathematica since
erf(infty)=1 and erf is an odd function giving the definite
integral a factor of 2 yielding your result.
Why do you think A and B vary with p? Why would the the
wavefunction (wch. is near Gaussian) change shape as a
function of p? Does it vary slowly with p?
