LIGHT-SCATTERING INVESTIGATION OF ALPHA AND BETA-RELAXATION NEAR THE LIQUID-GLASS TRANSITION OF THE MOLECULAR GLASS SALOL AND REEXAMINATION OF THE DEPOLARIZED-LIGHT SCATTERING SPECTRA OF GLASS-FORMING LIQUIDS - REPLY

The data analysis procedures employed in our previous publications [Phys. Rev. A 45, 3867 (1992); 46, 3343 (1992); Phys. Rev. E 47, 4223 (1993)] are reviewed and the significance of the cusp found in the scaling time tau(beta) is described. The implications of the Salol dielectric susceptibility results described by Dixon, Menon, and Nagel in their Comment [preceding paper, Phys. Rev. E 50, 1717 (1994)] are discussed. The relation between the alternative model presented in the Comment by Zeng, Kivelson, and Tarjus [second preceding paper, Phys. Rev. E 50, 1711 (1994)] and the mode-coupling theory is considered, and their alternative model is shown to be incompatible with experimental results, particularly inelastic neutron-scattering spectroscopy where the dipole-induced-dipole scattering mechanism is inoperative.
