Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are clouds of magnetized relativistic electron/positron plasma supplied from the central pulsar. However, the number of radio-emitting particles inside a PWN is larger than the expectation from the study of pulsar magnetospheres and their origin is still unclear. A stochas...
