contents This paper is devoted to the hydrodynamic limit for the linear Boltzmann equation, in the case of a heavy tail equilibrium and a cross section which depends on the space variable and which degenerates for large velocities, without symmetry assumptions. For an appropriate time scale, a macroscopic equation with an elliptic operator, which is equivalent to the fractional Laplacian, is obtained. This problem has been addressed in [Mellet, Mischler and Mouhot, ARMA, 2011] for a space-independent cross section, using a Fourier-Laplace transform, where a fractional diffusion equation has been obtained, and revisited in [Mellet, Indiana Univ., 2010] for a space-dependent but a bounded cross section, using the moments method by introducing an auxiliary problem. In this work, we will adapt the latter method to generalize both results.
