Abstract
The α-relaxation dynamics in a hard-sphere system is studied solving microscopic-mode-coupling equations. The solutions for coherent and incoherent dynamical structure factors, the transversal correlation functions, and the moduli are presented for all wave vectors. The wave-vector dependence of fitted Kohlrausch exponents β and of the relaxation times τ is discussed. Recent experiments on the α relaxation of colloidal systems are quantitatively analyzed.Keywords
