The dissipative linear boltzmann equation

We introduce and discuss a linear Boltzmann equation describing dissipative interactions of a gas of test particles with a fixed background. For a pseudo-Maxwellian collision kernel, it is shown that, if the initial distribution has finite temperature, the solution converges exponentially for large
