In the following the<br />

This is done using the equation<br />

Here, the bracket on the right hand side is the commutator . In analogy to equation (5 .34)<br />

holds .<br />

1 [exp(iQ - r(t», pz] = 1 exp(itH) [exp(iQ - r(t », pz]<br />

The commutator at equal times on the right hand side of the last equation can<br />

easily be calculated . For this purpose one uses the coordinate representation p = -ihV .<br />

By calculation of the derivatives<br />

[exp(iQ _ r(t», pz] = -h exp(iQ - r(0» (hQ2 + 2Q - p) (5 .80)<br />

Since p commutes with the Hamiltonian in the equation of motion the Hamiltonian<br />

can be applied directly on r(0) :<br />

This differential equation can be solved immediately and one obtains for the time dependent<br />

operator :<br />

With this result the correlator in the scattering function (5 .39) can be calculated :<br />

Thus using the Van Hove correlation function we obtain<br />
