A comprehensive study of neutron star retention in globular clusters

(abridged) Observations of very high speeds among pulsars in the Galactic disk present a puzzle regarding neutron stars in globular clusters. The inferred characteristic speed of single pulsars in the Galaxy is $\sim 5-10$ times as large as the central escape speed from the most massive globular clu...
