A plausible approach to the theory of pulsars as cosmic ray particle accelerators is to integrate numerically the Lorentz-Dirac-equation, using the vacuum field of a rotating orthogonal magnetic dipole as a model field configuration. Typical parameter values are: angular velocity ω = 20 π/sec and magnetic dipole moment μ = 1030G cm3 (K.O. Thielheim, Proc. ESO-CERN Conf. 1986).
