Modeled kinetic theories of one-component plasmas

The general kinetic equation for the density-density correlation function $S(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{k}},\omega )$, derived from projection-operator methods, provides a convenient framework for the modeling of collision processes in plasmas. We present results of the calculation of $S(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{k}},\omega )$ for the dense one-component plasma utilizing four-collision models. In each case exact static-correlation data available from particle simulations are used as input to the calculation. Numerical results are presented and compared with "exact" results from computer experiments.
