Abstract
The general kinetic equation for the charge-charge structure factor of a fully ionized strongly coupled hydrogen plasma is solved in three distinct collision approximations. The equilibrium correlation functions necessary to these solutions are provided by solution of the hypernetted-chain integral equation in which an effective pair potential has been used to take into account short-range quantum effects. The results are compared with molecular-dynamics simulations of the plasma using the effective pair potential and with a hierarchical approach involving known sum rules.
