Scientific paper

The theory of very-high-energy gamma-ray generation in fast rotating radio pulsars with a strong magnetic field on the surface is developed. Acceleration of charged particles takes place on the Alfven surface in the vicinity of the light cylinder. Gamma-rays are generated in a process of inverse Compton scattering of relativistic electrons on X-rays emitted by a pulsar. The theory describes well enough both the form of the observed spectrum and the absolute fluxes of very-high-energy gamma-rays of PSR 0531 + 21, PSR 0833 - 45, and PSR 1509 - 58. The lower limits on the fluxes of the gamma-rays are estimated for some other pulsars.
