The photon can then convert to a pair through two channels: Magnetic conversion: If a photon is produced near the star, it has a very high probability of converting to a pair immediately Photon collision: If a photon is produced outside the magnetic conversion region, we assign to it a (large) random free path. At the end of the free path we assume it collides with a target photon and let it convert to a pair, regardless of the local field strength. A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34

52 Current and Charge Distribution Figure: Left: Radial current; Right: Charge distribution A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
53 Discharge Mechanism In the current sheet along the last closed field line: Toroidal magnetic field jumps, which requires charge density ρ B to be negative (Lyubarskii 1990) A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
54 Discharge Mechanism In the current sheet along the last closed field line: Toroidal magnetic field jumps, which requires charge density ρ B to be negative (Lyubarskii 1990) Required current j B = B is positive due to magnetic field configuration A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
55 Discharge Mechanism In the current sheet along the last closed field line: Toroidal magnetic field jumps, which requires charge density ρ B to be negative (Lyubarskii 1990) Required current j B = B is positive due to magnetic field configuration α = j B /cρ B < 0, current cannot simply be carried by a charge-separated outflow from the star A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
56 Discharge Mechanism In the current sheet along the last closed field line: Toroidal magnetic field jumps, which requires charge density ρ B to be negative (Lyubarskii 1990) Required current j B = B is positive due to magnetic field configuration α = j B /cρ B < 0, current cannot simply be carried by a charge-separated outflow from the star Due to mismatch between j B and j means that E needs to be induced, which accelerates particles to produce pair discharge A.

61 Type I and Type II Pulsars The formation of Y-point and current sheets depends crucially on whether pairs can be created near to the light cylinder Type I: Young, fast rotating pulsars that can create pairs all the way to the light cylinder through γ-γ interaction Type II: Weak pulsars that can only produce pairs through magnetic interaction, therefore pair creation is limited to where B field is strong A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
62 Comparison of Type I and Type II Pulsars A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
63 Comparison of Type I and Type II Pulsars Type II pulsars seem not able to self-consistently form a Y-point. There is not enough pair creation to support the current sheet. Structure looks like electrosphere However, Type II pulsar is not dead. Pair activity periodically switch on to conduct the return current The pairs are created by secondary electrons accelerated backwards by the vacuum electric field between the dome and the torus A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
64 Polar Cap For both types of pulsars, plasma outflows at mildly relativistic energies near the polar cap Figure: Current flow across the polar cap, normalized to j GJ = cρ GJ. α = j pol /j GJ. Left is from PIC simulation, right is from a force-free model (Parfrey et. al. 2012) A. Y. Chen Pulsar Simulations August / 34
65 Summary PIC simulations prove to be a powerful tool to study the structure of the pulsar magnetosphere We obtain overall results similar to the force-free models, but with a lot of extra information We now know from first principles where the gap is and its mechanism Gamma ray photons are mainly produced in the Y-shaped current sheets Weak pulsars seem to be deviate qualitatively from the standard force-free pulsar picture A.
