We are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the number of self-intersections of a trajectory of a Lorentz process in a $\mathbb Z^2$-periodic planar domain with strictly convex obstacles and with finite horizon. We give precise estimates for its expectation and its variance. As a consequence, we establish the almost sure convergence of the self-intersections with a suitable normalization.
Keywords: Lorentz process, Sinai billiard, self intersection..
