Scientific paper

Forty years after the discovery of rotation-powered pulsars, we still do not understand many aspects of their pulsed emission. In the last few years there have been some fundamental developments in acceleration and emission models. I will review both the basic physics of the models as well as the latest developments in understanding the high-energy emission of rotation-powered pulsars. The prospects for a revolution of the field is about to take place with the launch of AGILE and GLAST. Prospects for using this large increase in γ-ray data for the study of pulsar physics will be discussed.
