Abstract
We consider the motion of a heavy particle in interaction with an infinite ideal gas of slow atoms. We prove that the velocity of the heavy particle is, in a suitable limit, modeled by a deterministic process. We also treat the process of rescaled velocity fluctuations around a certain deterministic motion and show that this is appropriately modeled by a nonhomogeneous diffusion process.
