Abstract

Starting from the Kadanoff-Baym relativistic transport equation and the multiple scattering expansion of the self-energy, we obtain the Boltzmann collision terms for any number of participating particles to all orders in perturbation theory within a quasi-particle approximation. This work completes a program initiated by Carrington and Mrowczynski and developed further by present authors and Weinstock in recent literature.
