Reply to comment on "Probing the equilibrium dynamics of colloidal hard spheres above the mode-coupling glass transition

Abstract

Brambilla et al. Reply: van Megen and Williams (vMW) question [1] our recent claim [2] that dense colloidal hard spheres enter at a large volume fraction ’, a dynamical regime not observed in earlier work [3] and not described by the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition. They claim that our results are in contradiction to theirs and suggest that this discrepancy is due to differences in particle size polydispersity.
