Pulsars spin-down due to magnetic torque reducing its radius and increasing the central energy density. Some pulsar which are born with central densities close to the critical value of quark deconfinement may undergo a phase transition and structural re-arrengement. This process may excite oscillation modes and emmit gravitational waves. We determine the rate of quark core formation in neutron stars using a realistic population synthesis code.
