Radio Pulsars Resonantly Accelerating Electrons

Based on the recently demonstrated resonant wave–wave process, it is shown that electrons can be accelerated to ultra-relativistic energies in the magnetospheres of radio pulsars. The energization occurs via the resonant interaction of the electron wave (described by the Klein–Gordon (KG) equation)...
