Abstract
We have performed a molecular dynamics calculation of the vibrational spectrum of glassy silica. The simulated spectra compare favourably wi th the neutron scattering experiments, in both frequency and momentum space. A detailed analysis of one-body and two-body correlation functi ons yields an assignment of the spectrum which exhibits a high degree of internal consistency and agrees with the current understanding of t he experimental data.
