Abstract
In April 1996, COBRAS/SAMBA could be selected for development by the European Space Agency. This could be the next major space mission on the cosmic background radiation. Tn the framework of our collaboration, we have undertaken a study of the primordial chemistry evolution and a program of search for molecular signals. While we review the preliminary results of this work, we call attention to some exciting puzzles about primordial nucleosynthesis, primordial chemistry and cosmic background anisotropies. These puzzles could place the COBRAS/SAMBA mission-together with the 30m IRAM telescope-into the larger framework of the Science of both the cosmic chemistry and of the early Universe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
