In a previous article, we studied the distribution of “low–lying” zeros of the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$–functions assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for all Dirichlet $L$–functions. Even with this very strong assumption, we were limited to using weight functions whose Fourier transforms are supported in the interval (−2, 2). However, it is widely believed that this restriction may be removed, and this leads to what has become known as the One-Level Density Conjecture for the zeros of this family of quadratic $L$-functions. In this note, we make use of Weil's explicit formula as modified by Besenfelder to prove an analogue of this conjecture.
