I present results of a search for cataclysmic variables (CVs) and chromospherically active binaries (ABs) as counterparts to X-ray sources detected with Chandra in six Galactic globular clusters (GCs): M 4, M 28, M 30, M 71, M 80, and NGC 6752. Binary systems play a critical role in the evolution of GCs, serving as an internal energy source countering the tendency of GC cores to collapse. Theoretical studies predict dozens of CVs in the cores of some GCs (e.g., 130 for M 28, 40 for M 30). A number of such binaries are also expected outside the core radius. However, few CVs are known so far in GCs. Using the 4.1m SOAR telescope, I have found 25 stars with Hα excess in the observed clusters. Six are candidate CVs, five are candidate active binaries. The other 14 objects with Hα excess are probably foreground/background stars or extragalactic sources.
