Abstract: We present a probabilistic proof of the mean-field limit and propagation of chaos of a N-particle system in three dimensions with compactly supported pair potentials of the form $$ for $$ and $phiin{L}^{infty}(mathbb{R}^3)cap{L}^1(mathbb{R}^3)$. In particular, for typical initial data, we show convergence of the Newtonian trajectories to the characteristics of the Vlasov-Dirac-Benney system with delta-like interactions. The proof is based on a Gronwall estimate for the maximal distance between the exact microscopic dynamics and the approximate mean-field dynamics. Thus our result leads to a derivation of the Vlasov-Dirac-Benney equation from the microscopic $N$-particle dynamics with a strong short range force.
