Abstract

The time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory is generalized in order to include two-body collisions. Using the projection operator techniques of statistical mechanics a transport equation is derived for the uncorrelated part of the full A-particle density matrix. This leads to an equation of motion for the one-particle density matrix which includes a collision term. The collision term is considered in the weak-coupling limit and a master equation is obtained for the occupation probabilities of the single-particle levels.
