We develop a mesoscopic description of the dynamics down to the length scale of the interparticle distance. Our theory is based on the exact solution of the Smoluchowski-Perrin equation; it is in quantitative agreement with extensive Brownian dynamics simulations in the dense regime. In particular, we show that the tube confinement is characterised by a power law decay of the intermediate scattering function with exponent 1/2.to appear in EPLSoft Condensed MatterEffective Perrin theory for the anisotropic diffusion of a strongly hindered rodtext
