Plasma screening effects on the occurrence time for the elastic electron.ion scattering in strongly
coupled plasmas are investigated using the ion-sphere model. For small scattering angles, the
occurrence time advance is found to be significantly reduced with the decrease in the strength of the
plasma screening. For strong plasma screening cases, the occurrence time advance is found to
decrease with an increase of the scattering angle. However, for weak plasma screening cases, the
occurrence time advance is increased sinusoidally with the increase scattering angle.
