The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey is a sensitive survey of a strip along the Galactic plane with |b|<5 deg and l=260 deg to l=50 deg. It uses a 13-beam receiver on the 64-m Parkes radio telescope, receiving two polarisations per beam over…

The survey of northern hemisphere were made at a frequency of 111 MHz. The total accumulation time at each point of the sky was at least one hour. 75 sources of pulse emission were detected. More then 80% of these sources are known pulsars…
