abstract
A system of smooth frozen Janus-type disks is studied. Such disks cannot rotate and are divided by their diameter into two sides of different inelasticities. Taking as a reference a system of colored elastic disks, we find differences in the behavior of the collisions once the anisotropy is included. A homogeneous state, akin to the homogeneous cooling state of granular gases, is seen to arise and the singular behavior of both the collisions and the precollisional correlations are highlighted.
