The dynamical properties of hybrid normal metal/superconductor structures have recently come into research focus both experimentally and theoretically. Recent experimental studies of the coherent admittance $% Y(\omega )$ of SNS rings as function of the phase difference $\phi _{ 0}$ are still not fully understood. Here we concentrate on the linear response regime, calculating $Y(\omega )$ by solving Usadel equations, linearised in electric field. Although partially reproducing previously known results, we find qualitatively different behaviour in the collisionless regime of $\tau _{ in}^{ -1}\ll \omega \lesssim E_{ Th}$ and high temperature $T\gg E_{ Th}$ and low temperature $T\lesssim E_{ Th}$ near the minigap closing $\phi _{ 0}\sim \pi $. We find that the dissipative part $\mbox{ Re}Y(\omega )$ peaks when the minigap closes (at a phase difference of $\pi $) even at high temperatures, when the equilibrium supercurrent is fully suppressed.
