β¦ Synopsis
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.
