We report on studies of charge carrier plasmon excitations in Sr₂RuO₄ by transmission Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy. In particular, we present results on the plasmon dispersion and its width as a function of momentum transfer. The dispersion can be qualitatively explained in the framework of RPA calculations, using an unrenormalized tight-binding band structure. The constant long-wavelength width of the plasmon indicates, that it is caused by a decay into inter-band transition and not by quantum critical fluctuations. The results from these studies on a prototypical highly correlated metal system show that the long-wavelength plasmon excitations near 1 eV are caused by resilient quasiparticles and are not influenced by correlation effects.
