Gino,
I've given your H[s_]:= ... function to Math5.2 running on WinXP
and I've obtained this result in few seconds with
InverseLaplaceTransform[H[s],s,t] :
\!\(\@\(\[Pi]\/2\)\ \((a\ \((\(-1\) + \[ExponentialE]\^\(-\(t\^2\/\(2\
a\^2\)\
\)\))\)\ \@\(2\/\[Pi]\) + t\ Erf[t\/\(\@2\ a\)])\)\)
(paste it in your Mathematica front-end)
Assuming 'a' as a constant and t is the new variable.
Bye,
