We present the identification of potential members of nearby Galacticglobular clusters using radial velocities from the RAdial Velocity ExperimentData Release 4 (RAVE-DR4) survey database. Our identifications are based onthree globular clusters -- NGC 3201, NGC 5139 ($\omega$ Cen) and NGC 362 -- allof which are shown to have |RV|>100 km/s. The identification of globularcluster stars in RAVE DR4 data offers a unique opportunity to test theprecision and accuracy of the stellar parameters determined with the currentlyavailable Stellar Parameter Pipelines (SPPs) used in the survey, as globularclusters are ideal testbeds for the validation of stellar atmosphericparameters, abundances, distances and ages. For both NGC 3201 and $\omega$ Cen,there is compelling evidence for numerous members (> 10) in the RAVE database;in the case of NGC 362 the evidence is more ambiguous, and there may besignificant foreground and/or background contamination in ourkinematically-selected sample. A comparison of the RAVE-derived stellarparameters and abundances with published values for each cluster and with BASTIisochrones for ages and metallicities from the literature reveals overall goodagreement, with the exception of the apparent underestimation of surfacegravities for giants, in particular for the most metal-poor stars. Moreover, ifthe selected members are part of the main body of each cluster our resultswould also suggest that the distances from Binney et al. 2013, where onlyisochrones more metal-rich than -0.9 dex were used, are typicallyunderestimated by ~ 40% with respect to the published distances for theclusters, while the distances from Zwitter et al. 2010 show stars ranging from1 to ~ 6.5 kpc -- with indications of a trend toward higher distances at lowermetallicities -- for the three clusters analysed in this study.
