abstract

The 21cm line emitted by neutral hydrogen (HI) during the Dark Ages carries imprints of pristine primordial correlations. In models of inflation driven by a single, canonical scalar field, we show that a phase of ultra-slow-roll can lead to a null in all the primordial correlations at a specific wavenumber $k_\textrm{dip}$. We consider scenarios wherein the null in the correlations occurs over wavenumbers $1 \lesssim k_\textrm{dip} \lesssim 10\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, and examine the prospects of detecting such a damping in the HI signal due to the nulls at the level of power and bi-spectra in future observational missions.

  1. How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In single-field PBH inflation models, a power-spectrum dip appears precisely when the inflaton velocity does not flip sign, and the peak amplitude scales as the inverse square of the dip amplitude.
