Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the relativistic statistical theory, introduced in Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66} (2002) 056125 and Phys. Rev. E {\bf 72} (2005) 036108, predicting the particle distribution function p(E)=expκ(β[Eμ])p(E)= \exp_{\kappa} (-\beta[E-\mu]) with expκ(x)=(1+κ2x2+κx)1/κ\exp_{\kappa}(x)=(\sqrt{1+ \kappa^2 x^2}+\kappa x)^{1/\kappa}, and κ2<1\kappa^2<1. This, experimentally observed, relativistic distribution, at low energies behaves as the exponential, Maxwell-Boltzmann classical distribution, while at high energies presents power law tails. Here, we obtain the evolution equation, conducting asymptotically to the above distribution, by using a new deductive procedure, starting from the relativistic BBGKY hierarchy and by employing the relativistic molecular chaos hypothesis.
