Abstract: On the basis of the quantum-mechanical equations of motion and the statistical assumption that dynamical correlations present in the initial state may be ignored, a kinetic equation for a dilute neutrino system is derived. If the system is sufficiently uniform in space this equation reduces to the relativistic Boltzmann equation for massless particles with a quantum-mechanical transition probability.
