Scientific paper

We propose to carry out a deep search for cataclysmic variables (CVs) and quiescent low mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs) in the galactic globular cluster M80. Ferraro et al. (1999) have recently used HST-WFPC2 imaging to detect a remarkably dense population of blue stragglers there. This suggests that the core of this cluster is the site of vigorous single and binary star interactions, since the blue stragglers are expected to be collisionally formed. A cluster core in such a dynamical state is also likely to produce significant numbers of CVs through similar collisional channels. Thus a deep observation of this cluster is an ideal extension of our (impending) GTO1 studies of two differing but contrasting globulars for their CV content: NGC 6397 and 47 Tuc.
