The time evolution of the energy dissipation in heavy ion collisions is expressed by a non Markovian Langevin equation which has two relaxation times. It is suggested that the kinetic energy above the Coulomb barrier dissipates rapidly with the same relaxation time as the fast process of the mass transport.
