We establish the L1 weighted propagation properties for solutions of the\nBoltzmann equation with hard potentials and non-integrable angular components\nin the collision kernel. Our method identifies null forms by angular averaging\nand deploys moment estimates of solutions to the Boltzmann equation whose\nsummability is achieved by introducing the new concept of Mittag-Leffler\nmoments - extensions of L1 exponentially weighted norms. Such L1 weighted\nnorms of solutions to the Boltzmann equation are, both, generated and\npropagated in time and the characterization of their corresponding\nMittag-Leffler weights depends on the angular singularity and potential rates\nin the collision kernel. These estimates are a fundamental step in order to\nobtain L^\∞ exponentially weighted estimates for solutions of the\nBoltzmann equation being developed in a follow up work.\n
