Status of the multibeam S band receiver for the Sardinia Radio Telescope

We describe the development status of the S-band (3-4.5 GHz) seven-beam cryogenic receiver for the primary focus of the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT). The main scientific goals for the SRT at S-band include the search for new pulsars, the evaluation of the pulsar dispersion for gravitational wave measurements, the mapping of galactic supernova remnants, and the study of magnetic field of galaxy clusters.
