Abstract

We propose to search for pulsed gamma-ray emission from the young radio pulsars that have recently been discovered in the Parkes Multibeam Survey. This project can be done making use of amalgamated observations, looking for the known periodicities (based on our simultaneous radio coverage) in young pulsars falling serendipitously within fields imaged with the INTEGRAL instruments. We expect to significantly increase the currently small sample of young pulsars detected in the high-energy range, thus providing new data to constrain the theoretical models.
