The binding energy of the envelope of a red giant star is much less than that of a main-sequence star. An expression for the amount by which x (crit) is diminished as a star evolves is presented. It is concluded that tidal capture of giants by neutron stars resulting in binary systems is unlikely in globular clusters.
