We present high precision Molecular Dynamics simulations for the dynamical structure function, S ( k , ω ), of the classical Coulomb One Component Plasma (OCP), for a wide range of the coupling parameter Γ (from 0.05 to 10 000). We follow the positive‐to‐negative transition of the slope of the ω ( k ) dispersion curve at small wave numbers caused by the onset of correlations with increasing coupling. The high signal‐to‐noise ratio of the data over several orders of magnitude allows examination of a wide dynamical range of S ( k , ω ), including extreme values of ω and k , and the identification of waves at higher harmonics of the plasma frequency. Sum rules are found to be accurately satisfied. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
