Abstract:
We report the status of a search for pulsars in the Galactic Centre,
using a completely revised and improved high-sensitivity double-horn
system at 4.85-GHz. We also present calculations about the success
rate of periodicity searches for such a survey, showing that in
contrast to conclusions in recent literature pulsars can be indeed
detected at the chosen search frequency.
