The particle distribution function that describes two interpenetrating plasma streams is re-investigated. It is shown how, based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann-J\"uttner distribution function that has been derived almost a century ago, a counterstreaming distribution function can be derived that uses velocity space. Such is necessary for various analytical calculations and numerical simulations that are reliant on velocity coordinates rather than momentum space. The application to the electrostatic two-stream instability illustrates the differences caused by the use of the relativistic distribution function.

Relativistic regularized kappa distributions
The authors define a special relativistic regularized kappa distribution that keeps all moments finite for every positive kappa, while the standard relativistic kappa distribution requires kappa greater than 2 or 3.
