First sentence: The discovery of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the COBE satellite in 1992 (Smoot et al., 1992; Bennett et al., 1996) has stimulated an enormous activity in this field which has culminated recently with the high precision data of the BOOMERANG, MAXIMA-I and DASI experiments (de Bernardis et al., 2000; Hanany et al., 2000; Netterfield et al., 2001; Lee et al., 2001; Halverson et al., 2001).
