Abstract
In this work, use is made of the integral-equation approach to study inelastic collisions so frequently encountered in hot-atom chemistry. To do this a few assumptions are made which on the one hand enable the analytic derivation and on the other hand are still real enough in the sense that the solution obtained is valid and meaningful. It is found that the inelasticity in the collision between a hot atom and a reactive molecule manifests itself as a parameter which can be defined only by analogy as the average energy loss in an inelastic collision.
