Abstract. We consider the velocity fluctuations of a system of particles described by the inelastic Maxwell model. The present work extends the methods previously employed to obtain the one-particle velocity distribution function to the study of the two-particle correlations. Results regarding both the homogeneous cooling process and the steady state driven regime are presented. In particular we obtain the form of the pair correlation function in the scaling region of the homogeneous cooling process and show that some of its moments diverge. This fact has repercussions for the behavior of the energy fluctuations of the model.
