Once the energies of electrons near the Fermi surface obviously exceed the threshold energy of the inverse β decay,electron capture（EC） dominates inside the magnetar.Since the maximal binding energy of the 3 P 2 neutron Cooper pair is only about 0.048 MeV,the outgoing high-energy neutrons（E k（n） 60...
