Moreover, being a welded piece, it presents a structural anisotropy that shortens its lifespan, and therefore its reliability in time. Since COBE's 4-year mission, scientists have used other spacecraft, such as NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), to refine the microwave-background measurements and thereby gauge specific properties of the universe, such as its age and composition, with unprecedented accuracy (SN: 2/15/2003, p. However, for the collision of light particles with equal masses, energy and momentum conservation leads to the well known "step" distribution of final energies extending down to zero and to an anisotropy of scattering in the laboratory (LAB) coordinate system. |
