Bulk Lorentz factor (left) and the magnetic field distribution (right) in pulsar wind with distance from the light-cylinder radius rLC for the MR and PL magnetization decay models with different spin period of Pspin = 2.5 ms and 14.25 ms. The dotted line indicates the position of the IBS nose, i.e., the shock stand-off distance (l0). In the left panel, the horizontal dotted line depicts the maximum Lorentz factor Γmax, corresponding to complete conversion of the available Poynting flux into bulk kinetic energy. In the right panel, the toroidal field model (B ∝ l−1) is compared with the MHD-compressed field derived from shock jump conditions.
