Abstract

The relativistic mass density which is transported by a quasi-monochromatic transverse wave packet is derived. The wave packet is assumed to propagate in isotropic cold collisionless plasma. The co-ordinate frame moving with the group velocity appears as the rest frame for both the mass density and the total mass of the wave packet. The equivalence of the energy-mass relation and the dispersion equation is demonstrated.
