Abstract
High energy infers high velocity and high velocity is a concept of special relativity. The Maxwellian velocity distribution is corrected to be consistent with special relativity. The corrected velocity distribution reduces to the Maxwellian distribution for small velocities and vanishes at the velocity of light, and contains a relatively depleted high-energy tail.
