We present a transport equation for the incoherent propagation of radiation inside a quasi-resonant atomic gas at low temperature. The derivation is based on a generalized Bethe-Salpeter equation taking into account the motion of the atoms. The obtained equation is similar to the radiative transfer equation. It is solved numerically by an original Monte Carlo approach in the case of a slab geometry. The partial frequency redistribution caused by the small velocity of the scatterers make the emitted flux outside the system and the energy density inside the medium to behave differently than in the case of complete frequency redistribution. In particular, the long time dependence of the specific intensity (escape factor) is slightly different from the Holstein prediction.
