An exact fluid model for relativistic electron beams: The many moment case

An interesting and satisfactory fluid model has been proposed in literature for the description of relativistic electron beams. It was obtained with 14 independent variables by imposing the entropy principle and the relativity principle. Here the case is considered with an arbitrary number of independent variables, still satisfying the above mentioned two principles; these lead to conditions whose general solution is here found. We think that the results satisfy also a certain ordering with respect to a smallness parameter ε measuring the dispersion of the velocity about the mean; this ordering generalizes that appearing in literature for the 14 moments
