Vesperini ASPECTS OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE GALACTIC GLOBULAR CLUSTER SYSTEM We investigate the evolution of systems of globular clusters located in a model of the Milky Way starting from different initial conditions for the mass function of the system and for the distribution of concentrations of individual clusters. In particular, we study the role of the evolutionary processes in changing the spatial distribution and the mass function of the cluster system, in establishing and/or preserving some of the observed correlations and trends between internal properties of globular clusters and between internal properties and location inside the host galaxy and we provide an estimate for the rates of core collapse and disruption of globular clusters.
