Comparative Analysis of Jüttner’s Calculation of the Energy of a Relativistic Ideal Gas and Implications for Accelerator Physics and Cosmology

Jüttner used the conventional theory of relativistic statistical mechanics to calculate the energy of a relativistic ideal gas in 1911. An alternative derivation of the energy of a relativistic ideal gas was published by Horwitz, Schieve and Piron in 1981 within the context of parametrized relativis...
