Recently Nagoya-Berkeley group (Matsumoto et al, 1987) observed microwave radiation in the Wien region precisely and found the excess of temperature. In the previous paper (kawasaki and Sato, 1986), we investigated the distortion of the spectrum of microwave background radiation due to the radiative decay of weakly interacting massive particles. At that time, however, the distortion was not observed. In the present paper, we investigated in detail whether the decay of WIMPs can account for the observed distortion of the spectrum or not. In Fig. 1, an example is shown.
