Description
We explore the diffusion of charged in a pulsar magnetosphere by considering the adiabatic invariants describing the motion of particles due to an electric and magnetic field. Charged particles will perform a helical motion round a magnetic field line, they will be bounce between the northern and Southern Hemisphere and drift in the azimuthal direction forming a ring current. While these effects are most likely dynamically subdominant to affect the structure of the magnetosphere, they may impact the regions where particles are concentrated.
