Abstract

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (NS) measurements of Salol have been carried out in order to study the α and β relaxations near the liquid-glass transition. The results are presented in the form of a susceptibility spectrum that is compared with the corresponding spectrum obtained from light scattering (LS) and with the predictions from the Mode Coupling Theory. The differences between the NS and LS results are due to the different correlators contributing to the susceptibility in the two types of scattering. The possible origin of these differences are discussed in the framework of the Mode Coupling Theory.
