Scientific paper

The high throughput of the XMM-Newton telescopes together with the unique properties of the EPIC detectors (good time resolution over the full field of view and wide energy range) are ideally suited to detect pulsations from faint X-ray sources. We propose to search for new pulsars in observations of 8 SMC fields which are known to contain several X-ray binary (XRB) candidates. We will determine the energy dependence of pulse profiles, characterize pulsars by their spectrum and optically identify them, using OM data and optical follow up observations. The results will help to further investigate the difference in the XRB populations of SMC and LMC/Milky Way.
