A NOTE ON THE RELATIVISTIC BOLTZMANN EQUATION AND SOME APPLICATIONS

Journal Article · · Journal of the Franklin Institute (U.S.)

Starting from the Boltzmann equation in the proper frame, the relativistic version of the Boltzmann equation in the absence of collisions is derived. As an application, a simple example of a velocity modulated drifting relativistic electron beam in the presence of a velocity distribution is treated. (auth)
