Abstract
We study a quantum dynamical semigroup driven by a Lindblad generator with a deterministic Schr\"odinger part and a noisy Poission-timed scattering part. The dynamics describes the evolution of a test particle in , , immersed in a gas, and the noisy scattering part is defined by the reduced effect of an individual interaction, where the interaction between the test particle and a single gas particle is via a repulsive point potential. In the limit that the mass ratio tends to zero and the collisions become more frequent as , we show that our dynamics approaches a limiting dynamics with second order error. Working in the Heisenberg representation, for we bound the difference between and in operator norm proportional to .
