Write
1 t = 0 d p e p t
Then the integral is
0 d t cos a t cos b t t = 0 d t ( cos a t cos b t ) 0 d p e p t = 0 d p ( 0 d t cos a t e p t 0 d t cos b t e p t ) = 0 d p ( p p 2 + a 2 p p 2 + b 2 )
It seems you got the rest. Note that, in the second line, we can reverse the order of integration because the integrals involved are convergent.
