Scientific paper

The possibility of nonresonant particle acceleration in an electron-positron plasma of a pulsar magnetosphere is investigated. A mechanism is proposed in which modulations of a fast superluminal (with phase velocity exceeding the speed of light) longitudinal ordinary mode (caused by a beat wave of two transverse electromagnetic waves propagating along the magnetic field) stimulate nonresonant quasilinear diffusion leading to a redistribution of plasma particles in pitch angle. The resulting perpendicular momenta of the particles lead to synchrotron radiation which is in the γ-ray range.
