Abstract
Using a microscopic approach we evaluate the collision integral that appears in the usual kinetic transport equation in the presence of strong non-magnetic impurity scattering. The relaxation time extracted from this collision integral is seen to manifest particle-hole asymmetry which depends strongly on the degree of anisotropy of the energy gap. The relevance of such an asymmetry to experiment is discussed.
