As currently demonstrated the nonlocal corrections to collision integrals in BUU simulations can have measurable effect on observables in heavy ion reactions [1]. These virial corrections to the Boltzmann equation for quasiparticles are derived now from non-equilibrium Green’s functions. These corrections are expressed in terms of shifts in space and time that characterize non-locality of the scattering integral [2]. The space shifts parallel finite-diameter corrections to collisions of hard spheres. The time shift is identified as the collision delay [3]. All shifts are given by derivatives of the phase shift in a binary collision [3]. The derived transport equation bears all features of the quasiparticle theory, the Landau-Boltzmann equation is recovered neglecting all shifts. Compared to the Landau-Boltzmann equation, the presented form of virial corrections only slightly increases the numerical demands in implementations. Consequences on current BUU- simulations are discussed and the results for heavy ion simulations are presented [4].
