Relativistic regularized kappa distributions — •Linh Han Thanh — Ruhr-Universität Bochum

Within the framework of relativistic kinetic theory, a special relativistic generalization of isotropic kappa distributions is proposed, based on the requirement that in the non-relativistic limit the original distributions are recovered. By studying the moments, it is found that the relativistic description of the standard kappa distribution leads to an even greater restriction on allowed kappa values than in the non-relativistic case, whereas the relativistic regularized kappa distribution is able to remove all divergences.
