High Energy Emission from the Polar Cap: The Slot Gap Revisited
Alice K. Harding, Alexander G. Muslimov
The characteristics of the high-energy emission from polar cap accelerators will be discussed. Particles accelerated in the "slot gap" near the polar cap rim will reach altitudes o…

Extended Acceleration in Slot Gaps and Pulsar High-Energy Emission
Alex G. Muslimov, Alice K. Harding
We revise the physics of primary electron acceleration in the "slot gap" (SG) above the pulsar polar caps (PCs), a regime originally proposed by Arons and Scharlemann (1979) in the…
