Abstract.  We consider the long time evolution of a quantum particle weakly 
interacting with a phonon field. We show that 
in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of 
the electron density matrix converges to the solution 
of the linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. 
The collision kernel is identified as the sum of an emission 
and an absorption term that depend on the equilibrium distribution of 
the free phonon modes.
