Abstract: We consider a non relativistic quantum system consisting of $K$ heavy and $N$ light particles in dimension three, where each heavy particle interacts with the light ones via a two-body potential $alphaV$. No interaction is assumed among particles of the same kind. Choosing an initial state in a product form and assuming $alpha$ sufficiently small we characterize the asymptotic dynamics of the system in the limit of small mass ratio, with an explicit control of the error. In the case K=1 the result is extended to arbitrary $alpha$. The proof relies on a perturbative analysis and exploits a generalized version of the standard dispersive estimates for the Schr"{o}dinger group. Exploiting the asymptotic formula, it is also outlined an application to the problem of the decoherence effect produced on a heavy particle by the interaction with the light ones.
