Abstract: In this article, we study a second-order expansion for the effect induced on a large quantum particle which undergoes a single scattering with a low-mass particle via a repulsive point interaction. We give an approximation with third-order error in $lambda$ to the map $GoT{r}_2[(Iotimesho)S_{lambda}^{\ast }(GotimesI)S_{lambda}]$, where $GinBi(L^2(R^n))$ is a heavy-particle observable, $hoinB{i}_1(R^n)$ is the density matrix corresponding to the state of the light particle, $lambda=fracmM$ is the mass ratio of the light particle to the heavy particle, $S_{lambda}inBi(L^2(R^n)otimes{L}^2(R^n))$ is the scattering matrix between the two particles due to a repulsive point interaction, and the trace is over the light-particle Hilbert space. The third-order error is bounded in operator norm for dimensions one and three using a weighted operator norm on $G$.
