While the imaginary part probes the superfluid density (Cooper-pairs), the real part monitors the opening of the superconducting energy gap and -- most important here -- the zero-frequency quasi-particle response. Varying the mean free path gives some insight into the dynamics, scattering and coherence effects of the quasi-particles in the superconducting state.7 pages, 10 figuresSuperconductivityOther Condensed Mattertext
