title: Power law tails of time correlations in a mesoscopic fluid model.
abstract: In a quenched mesoscopic fluid, modeling transport processes at high densities, we perform computer simulations of the single particle energy autocorrelation function C(e) (t) , which is essentially a return probability. This is done to test the predictions for power law tails, obtained from mode coupling theory. We study both off and on-lattice systems in one- and two-dimensions. The predicted long time tail approximately t(-d/2) is in excellent agreement with the results of computer simulations. We also account for finite size effects, such that smaller systems are fully covered by the present theory as well.
