Abstract
Fluctuations of the diffusion tensor in a lattice Lorentz gas model are calculated numerically from a sample of mesoscopic-size systems, and used as input in a mode-coupling expression that predicts long-time tail amplitudes. The results are in good agreement with previously published direct measurements of the tail amplitude over a wide range of scatterer concentrations. We argue that the previous, long-standing disagreement between theory and simulations comes from concentration-independent configurational fluctuations in the diffusion tensor, which we have measured separately and which are not taken into account by existing theories.
