Abstract

The electron-positron plasma creation near a pulsar may be a very nonstationary process. Then, the plasma that flows out from the pulsar environment is nonhomogeneous and gathers into separate clouds. The dispersion of plasma clouds during the outflow, their overlapping and the development of a two-stream instability are considered.
