  We present 22 new (+3 confirmed) cataclysmic variables (CVs) in the non
core-collapsed globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc). The total number of CVs in
the cluster is now 43, the largest sample in any globular cluster so far. For
the identifications we used near-ultraviolet (NUV) and optical images from the
Hubble Space Telescope, in combination with X-ray results from the Chandra
X-ray Observatory. This allowed us to build the deepest NUV CV luminosity
function of the cluster to date. We found that the CVs in 47 Tuc are more
concentrated towards the cluster center than the main sequence turnoff stars.
We compared our results to the CV populations of the core-collapsed globular
clusters NGC 6397 and NGC 6752. We found that 47 Tuc has fewer bright CVs per
unit mass than those two other clusters. That suggests that dynamical
interactions in core-collapsed clusters play a major role creating new CVs. In
47 Tuc, the CV population is probably dominated by primordial and old
dynamically formed systems. We estimated that the CVs in 47 Tuc have total
masses of approx. 1.4 M_sun. We also found that the X-ray luminosity function
of the CVs in the three clusters is bimodal. Additionally, we discuss a
possible double degenerate system and an intriguing/unclassified object.
Finally, we present four systems that could be millisecond pulsar companions
given their X-ray and NUV/optical colors. For one of them we present very
strong evidence for being an ablated companion. The other three could be CO- or
He-WDs.
