The anomalously large dielectric constant of water is intimately connected with a Debye relaxation peak in low frequency dielectric spectra. Despite intense research, a link between the molecular dynamics and the Debye relaxation peak, are still under heavy debate. Proposed mechanisms include translational and/or rotational motions, movement of free water molecules, collective relaxation of a cluster or hopping of defects in the hydrogen bond network. We used MIEZE (Modulation IntEnsity with Zero Effort) neutron spin echo spectroscopy, a high resolution time of flight technique, to measure the dynamic structure factor (S(q,t)) of water over an exceptional dynamical range (0.01 up to 1000ps). Consistent with the literature, we find the bulk transverse diffusion on length scales from 0.1/Å up to 0.4/Å. As our main result, reveals at least two more processes on sub-picosecond time-scales. This provides direct evidence of a vibration and/or delocalization of hydrogen larger than the intermolecular distance as proposed [1].
