  text: We consider a multidimensional system consisting of a particle of mass M and
    radius r (molecule), surrounded by an infinite ideal gas of point particles of
    mass m (atoms). The molecule is confined to the unit ball and interacts with its
    boundary (barrier) via elastic collision, while the atoms are not affected by
    the boundary. We obtain convergence to equilibrium for the molecule from almost
    every initial distribution on its position and velocity. Furthermore, we prove
    that the infinite composite system of the molecule and the atoms is Bernoulli.
