We investigate the long time behavior of a system of viscoelastic particles modeled with the homogeneous Boltzmann equation. In this case, the coefficient of normal restitution, which measures the inelasticity of collisions, is not constant and depends on the impact velocity. For such a model, we prove the existence of a universal Maxwellian intermediate asymptotic state and explicit the rate of convergence towards it.
