Abstract
Consider two balls with radius whose centers are at a distance , positioned symmetrically with respect to the origin in . Suppose that the initial velocities are independent standard normal vectors. When , the collision probability goes to 0 as , and the asymptotic collision location distribution is a (defective) -distribution. This distribution is rotationally symmetric about the origin for no apparent reason.
