Abstract
The long time tails of the correlation functions that determine the self-diffusion coefficient and the kinetic parts of the shear viscosity and heat conductivity in a one-component plasma are calculated using a systematic kinetic theory. The results are in agreement with those obtained from the phenomenological mode coupling theory. The formal kinetic theory calculations of previous workers, who obtained incomplete long time tail results, are also discussed.
