Abstract
The authors report on the results of a search for pulsed gamma-ray emission from old radio pulsars in the COS-B data in the energy range 50 MeV to 2 GeV. The analysis has been done by using either pulsar parameters obtained in simultaneous radio and gamma-ray observations or parameters which could be reliably derived by interpolation from radio observations spanning the COS-B observations.
