Coherence of Multidimensional Pair Production Discharges in Polar Caps of Pulsars

Coherence of Multidimensional Pair Production Discharges in Polar Caps of Pulsars

We report on the first self-consistent multidimensional particle-in-cell numerical simulations of nonhomogeneous pair discharges in polar caps of rotation-powered pulsars. By introducing strong inhomogeneities in the initial plasma distribution in our simulations, we analyze the degree of self-consi...
