Since the discovery of globular cluster LMXBs in the 1970s comma it was long assumed there was only one luminous LMXB per cluster. Deep Chandra observations of globular clusters have revealed that they contain numerous quiescent LMXB systems comma any of which could go into outburst. Our past Chandra programs have shown that globular clusters can indeed harbor multiple transients and that more quiescent LMXBs are hiding under the sensitivity limits of even relatively deep Chandra exposures. Here we propose to continue our Chandra program to precisely localize new transients in globular clusters comma with the aim of gaining better insight into globular cluster LMXB populations. As part of this effort we further request HST observations to identify the optical counterparts of these transients.
