Scientific paper

The INTEGRAL mission has recently accessed the yet poorly known population of pulsars and their wind nebulae radiating above 20 keV. However, INTEGRAL has also pinpointed several new sources (e.g. IGR J14003-6326, IGR J18135-1751) which follow-up observations proved to be young and X-ray bright pulsars or PWN. We propose a research program aimed at identifying four new persistent hard X-ray unknown sources at low Galactic latitude, selected from the latest INTEGRAL survey as the best candidates for new young pulsar/PWN systems. These objects lack any obvious infrared or optical counterpart, and have never been observed in soft X-rays. With short (5 10 ks) XMM-Newton observations, we will able to locate them, characterize their spectrum, and find their possible non-thermal diffuse emission.
