In this article, we explore convolutions of distributions with distributions given by (weighted) line integration. We also explore the scattering of singularities of such convolutions.
A handful of new experiments aimed at measuring the as-yet-undetected polarization of the cosmic background radiation are described, with somewhat more detail given for three experiments with which the authors are are associated.
