We study the velocity distribution function for inelastic Maxwell models, characterized by a Boltzmann equation with constant collision rate, independent of the energy of the colliding particles. By means of a nonlinear analysis of the Boltzmann equation, we find that the velocity distribution function decays algebraically for large velocities, with exponents that are analytically calculated.
