We present a new independent pipeline for the CMB bispectrum estimation of primordial non-Gaussianity and release a public code for constraining bispectrum shapes of interest based on the Planck 2018 temperature and polarization data. The estimator combines the strengths of the conventional KSW and Modal estimators at the cost of increased computational complexity, which has been made manageable through intensive algorithmic and implementation optimization. We also detail some methodological advances in numerical integration over a tetrapyd - domain where the bispectrum is defined on - via new quadrature rules. The pipeline has been validated both internally and against Planck. As a proof-of-concept example, we constrain some highly oscillatory models that were out of reach in conventional analyses using a targeted basis with a fixed oscillation frequency, and no significant evidence for primordial non-Gaussianity of these shapes is found. The methodology and code developed in this work will be directly applicable to future surveys where we expect a notable boost in sensitivity.

Primordial Physics in the Nonlinear Universe: Revealing the oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider models
A binning-based IC method yields the first N-body measurements of oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider bispectra, with mass- and assembly-dependent phases fit by peak-background-split theory.

Dissecting the Scalar Cosmological Collider with the Cosmic Microwave Background
A joint Bayesian fit of the multi-field inflationary Lagrangian to Planck bispectrum data finds no cosmological collider signal (max Δχ²=5.3) and shows weak-mixing template searches are invalid except at the smallest masses.

First Search for Kaluza-Klein Gravitons and Radion Using Planck Data
First Planck search for radion and KK-graviton bispectra finds no significant non-Gaussianity (max 1.8σ at m_KK ≈ 1.6H), while a warped 5D model can yield f_NL ~ 1–50.

The UV Sensitivity of Axion Monodromy Inflation
In a string-inspired two-field axion monodromy model, oscillatory modulations excite heavy moduli during inflation, producing detectable cosmological collider signals in the primordial bispectrum that bypass Boltzmann...
