In this paper, we prove propagation estimates for a massive Dirac equation in flat spacetime. This allows us to construct the asymptotic velocity operator and to analyse its spectrum. Eventually, using this new information, we are able to obtain complete scattering results; that is to say we prove the existence and the asymptotic completeness of the Dollard modified wave operators.

Dans cet article, nous prouvons plusieurs estimations de propagation pour une équation de Dirac massive en espace-temps plat. Ces estimations nous permettent de construire l'opérateur de vitesse asymptotique et de caractériser son spectre. En utilisant cette nouvelle information, nous obtenons des résultats complets de scattering. Précisèment, nous prouvons l'existence et la complétude asymptotique des opérateurs d'onde modifiés à la Dollard.
