The pressure and temperature dependences of the depolarized light scattering spectra of salol have been measured at isobaric condition P = 1 bar for T between 328 and 393 K, and at isothermal condition T = 343 K for P between 1 and 625 bar, i.e. outside the metastable liquid region.
The experimental results for both the α- and β-relaxations can be well described by the Mode Coupling Theory.
The independence of the power-law parameters a, and consequently 
and γ, from the thermodynamic variables T and P is demonstrated.The critical temperature
Tc at 1 bar and the critical pressure Pc at T = 343 K have been determined from the normal liquid state.
