  "abstract": "We study inelastic electron-electron scattering mediated by the exchange interaction of electrons with magnetic impurities, and find the kernel of the corresponding two-particle collision integral. In a wide region of parameters, the kernel K is proportional to the inverse square of the transferred energy, $K\\propto J^4/E^2$. The exchange constant J is renormalized due to the Kondo effect, yielding an additional weak dependence of K on the energies of the colliding electrons. At small energy transfers, the $1/E^2$ divergence is cut off; the cut-off energy is determined by the dynamics of the impurity spins. The obtained results may provide a quantitative explanation of the experiments of Pothier et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3490 (1997)] on anomalously strong energy relaxation in short metallic wires.",
