Abstract
Recent theoretical analyses of the two-time joint-probability density for electric-field dynamics in a strongly coupled plasma have included formal short-time expansions. Here we compare the short-time-expansio n results for the associated generating function with molecular-dynami cs-simulation results for the special case of fields at a neutral poin t in a one-component plasma with plasma parameter GAMMA = 10. The agre ement is quite good for times omega(p)t less-than-or-equal-to 2, altho ugh more general application of the short-time expansion requires some important qualifications.
