  We discuss the transition strength between the disordered ground state and
the basic low-lying triplet excitation for interacting dimer materials by
presenting theoretical calculations and series expansions as well as inelastic
neutron scattering results for the material KCuCl_3. We describe in detail the
features resulting from the presence of two differently oriented dimers per
unit cell and show how energies and spectral weights of the resulting two modes
are related to each other. We present results from the perturbation expansion
in the interdimer interaction strength and thus demonstrate that the wave
vector dependence of the simple dimer approximation is modified in higher
orders. Explicit results are given in 10th order for dimers coupled in 1D, and
in 2nd order for dimers coupled in 3D with application to KCuCl_3 and TlCuCl_3.
