On the basis of the Green's function formalism multiple scattering effects due to two‐particle scattering are investigated with respect to their influence on the electrical conductivity of dense, non‐ideal hydrogen plasmas. Both the linear response formalism and the rigorous kinetic treatment via the Kadanoff‐Baym equation yield equivalent results for this case. A local lowering of the conductance isotherms for is found to be a consequence of the disappearence of the last bound state of the shielded electron‐proton complex. Influences due to lowest order dynamical shielding effects are found to cause considerable lowering of the conductivity in this region due to photon polarization. We also discuss effects of multiple two‐particle scattering on the photon‐polarization itself.
