Scientific paper

The radii of neutron stars are now routinely measured in transient low mass X-ray binary systems hosted in globular clusters (GCs). Only a handful of such systems are firmly identified, and more are needed to produce a usefully large population. Most -- discovered using Chandra -- are unsuitable for detailed study with large area missions, due to the crowded GC fields. We devise a survey strategy to discover new quiescent transient low-mass-x-ray-binaries (qLMXBs) in GCs suitable for these missions. We expect to detect 2-3 new qLMXBs which can be used for precision NS radius measurements.
