The Pair Cascade in Strong and Weak Field Pulsars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We have simulated the development of the pair cascade in a range of magnetic field strengths. We determined the efficiencies of lepton and secondary photon production, as well as the distribution functions of the pair plasma and of the escaping photons. We find the magnetic field has the most important effect on the cascade; primary beam energies and seed photon emissivities are of less importance.
