Heating of the primaeval plasma prior to the epoch of recombination results in distortions in the Rayleigh-Jeans region of the microwave relic radiation spectrum (λ˜1 60 cm, or more exactly λ=2.5Ω-7/8 cm). The present observational data allow limits to be set to such energy injection from which follow upper limits to (a) the amount of antimatter in the universe; (b) the parameters of primaeval turbulence; and (c) the adiabatic fluctuation spectrum for small masses (M<1011 M &sun;). If the heating takes place prior to the epocht=1010Ω12/5 sec (and in particular at the annihilation of electron-positron pairs atT˜108 1010 K,t<300 sec), no observable distortions are expected in the relic radiation spectrum. Here Ω=ϱ/ϱcrit is the dimensionless average density of matter in the universe.
