内容摘要:The cosmological collider program, which aims to extract direct information about heavy particles during inflation via primordial non-Gaussianity, has attracted attention as it offers a window into high-energy physics beyond the reach of terrestrial experiments. However, analyses based on concrete particle physics models remain limited, and it is still unclear under what conditions a large cosmological collider signal can be generated. In this talk, we investigate the criteria for achieving a large signal in a generic framework, focusing on tree-level massive scalar exchange. We further confirm our findings explicitly using several multifield R2 and alpha-attractor inflation models.
报告人简介:Aoki is a researcher at RIKEN iTHEMS specializing in particle physics and cosmology. His work focuses on the "cosmological collider" program, using primordial non-Gaussianity to probe new physics beyond the Standard Model. He obtained his PhD from Waseda University in 2018.
