SUMMARY:Searching for Pulsars and Radio Transients with the Murchison 
 Widefield Array\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, David Ka
 plan\, UW Milwaukee\, Department of Physics
DESCRIPTION:As one of a new generation of widefield\, low-frequency ra
 dio<br>
\ntelescopes\, the Murchison Widefield Array has enormous pote
 ntial to<br>
\nconduct blind searches for radio transients and probe t
 he nearby<br>
\npulsar population.  We are working to develop a common
  framework<br>
\nwith the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder
  (ASKAP)<br>
\nVariables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey to allow re
 al-time<br>
\ntransient detection and characterization.  I will discus
 s the expected<br>
\ntypes of sources that we hope to discover with th
 e full array and<br>
\nreview some of the initial results from our 32-
 element testbed.
