Scientific paper

There have been over two dozen gamma-ray pulsars discovered in blind frequency searches of Fermi-LAT photon data. While there is a general idea of the blind search sensitivity when compared to the radio-loud pulsar sensitivity, it has not been well established quantitatively. We detail a sensitivity study of the blind search code used to discover the new gamma-ray pulsars using a large scale simulation of gamma-ray pulsars and LAT source locations. We establish detection limits on signal flux, signal photons, and signal to background photons, as well as estimate the Galactic pulsar distribution.
