The motion and radiation of relativistic particles with radiation reaction in a strong magnetic field has been considered. The kinetic equation determining the relaxation of the distribution function with radiation reaction has been investigated. The universal one-dimensional distribution function is found to which any isotropic ultrarelativistic distribution in a strong magnetic field is relaxed. It is of power type ɛ-3 for ultrarelativistic energies ɛ≫mc 2. Estimations are made which indicate that under the pulsar conditions the one-dimensional electron distribution function is likely formed due to radiation losses while for ions the one-dimensionalization is associated with the conservation of the adiabatic invariant.
