Scientific paper

Proton orbits are calculated in the electromagnetic vacuum field of a magnetic point dipole rotating with its angular velocity ω→ perpendicular to its dipole moment μ→ by numerical integration of the Lorentz-Dirac equation. Trajectories are shown and discussed for various initial conditions. A critical surface is shown separating initial positions of protons which finally hit the pulsar in the polar region from those which finally recede to infinity.
