Exact solutions of the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation

Nuclear Theory 2019-07-04 v1

Abstract

This Thesis concentrates on the analysis of coupled RTA (relaxation time approximation) kinetic equations for bosons and fermions. Bosons are treated as massless particles, while fermions have a finite mass. Using analytic and numerical methods we find exact solutions for such a mixture in the case of one-dimensional, boost-invariant expansion (for systems which are transversally homogeneous). In this way, several earlier results obtained for one-component systems and classical particles are generalized.
