1D inelastic relativistic-collision

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss one dimensional inelastic relativistic-collisions in the framework of the relativistic kinetic theory. In particular, we focus on the relativistic effects on time evolutions of the temperature and flow velocity under the spatially homogeneous state. As a result of the relativistic effects, we obtain the characteristic time evolutions of the temperature and flow velocity, which are never obtained under the nonrelativistic limit.
