abstract
It is generally expected that heavy fields are present during inflation, which can leave their imprint in late-time cosmological observables. The main signature of these fields is a small amount of distinctly shaped non-Gaussianity, which if detected, would provide a wealth of information about the particle spectrum of the inflationary Universe. Here we investigate to what extent these signatures can be detected or constrained using futuristic 21-cm surveys. We construct model-independent templates that extract the squeezed-limit behavior of the bispectrum, and examine their overlap with standard inflationary shapes and secondary non-Gaussianities. We then use these templates to forecast detection thresholds for different masses and couplings using a 3D reconstruction of modes during the dark ages ($z\sim 30-100$). We consider interactions of several broad classes of models and quantify their detectability as a function of the baseline of a dark ages interferometer. Our analysis shows that there exists the tantalizing possibility of discovering new particles with different masses and interactions with future 21-cm surveys.

Chemical potential from a unique dim-5 inflaton–right-handed-neutrino operator softens heavy-mass Boltzmann suppression and amplifies helicity-dependent oscillatory non-Gaussianity from the fermion triangle loop.
Unified tree-level bispectrum shapes for cosmological collider processes are computed and searched in Planck data, yielding no detection but a weak hint for chemical potential extensions at ω - M ≃ 3H.
Joint power spectrum and bispectrum analysis from future HI intensity mapping surveys improves constraints on primordial feature amplitudes by 30-40% and achieves percent-level precision on oscillation frequencies when combined with CMB measurements.
Compares two methods to resolve disagreements and prove positivity of anomalous dimensions for principal series fields coupled to compact scalar operators in de Sitter space.
Including spectral running α_s, β_s and self-interacting dark radiation relaxes the ACT DR6 bound on ΔN_eff to <0.58 and lowers the Hubble tension to 2.2σ with three extra parameters.
MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.
Updated SKAO-AA4 forecasts show multi-tracer HI+galaxy analyses can reach σ(f_local_NL)≲1 and improve αs bounds by tens of percent when combined with future CMB, while foregrounds and GR light-cone effects remain the main systematics.
Review of so(1,D) representations for de Sitter space across all D, covering mixed symmetry and fermions, connected to propagating fields.
