Electric field screening by a proton counterflow in the pulsar polar cap
Katsuaki Asano, Fumio Takahara
We propose a new mechanism to screen the electric field in the pulsar polar cap. Previous studies have shown that if an electron beam from the stellar surface is accelerated to ene…

Electrostatic Instability in Electron-Positron Pairs Injected in an External Electric Field
Katsuaki Asano, Fumio Takahara
Motivated by the particle acceleration problem in pulsars, we numerically investigate electrostatic instability of electron-positron pairs injected in an external electric field. T…
