English abstract In this paper we consider the inverse problem of recovering the collision kernel for the time dependent linear Boltzmann equation via a finite number of boundary measurements. We prove that this kernel can be uniquely determined by at most k measurements, provided that it belongs to a finite k-dimensional vector space
