Scientific paper

A mechanism is proposed to explain the rapid fluctuations observed in the radio intensity level of pulsars. The mechanism rests on an effect discussed previously by the authors: electrons would become accelerated when they are trapped by an amplitude-modulated electromagnetic wave emitted by the pulsar, since the group velocity of the wave will rise as it travels toward regions of lower density. Rapid fluctuations will then develop because of the absorption of the radiant energy by the accelerated electrons.
