| contents | By improving geometric recollision estimates for a random Lorentz gas, we extend the timescale $T(r)$ of the invariance principle for a Lorentz gas with particle size $r$ obtained by Lutsko and Toth (2020) from $\lim_{r \rightarrow 0} T(r) r^{2} |\log(r)|^2 =0$ to $\lim_{r \rightarrow 0} T(r) r^{2} |\log(r)| =0$. We show that this is the maximal reachable timescale with the coupling of stochastic processes introduced in the original result. In our improved geometric estimates we make use of the convexity of scatterers to obtain better dispersive estimates for the associated billiard map. We provide additional estimates which potentially open the possibility to reach, with a more elaborate coupling argument, up to timescales just below of $T(r)\sim r^{-2}$ when recollision patterns of arbitrary length occur. |
