abstract
We study the imprint of higher spin supermultiplets on cosmological correlators, namely the non-Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background. Supersymmetry is used as a guide to introduce the contribution of fermionic higher spin particles, which have been neglected thus far in the literature. This necessarily introduces more than just a single additional fermionic superpartner, since the spectrum of massive, higher spin supermultiplets includes two propagating higher spin bosons and two propagating higher spin fermions, which all contribute to the three point function. As an example we consider the half-integer superspin $\textsf{Y}=s+1/2$ supermultiplet, which includes particles of spin values $j=s+1,~j=s+1/2,~j=s+1/2$ and $j=s$. We compute the curvature perturbation 3-point function for higher spin particle exchange and find that the known $P_{s}(\cos \theta)$ angular dependence is accompanied by superpartner contributions that scale as $P_{s+1}(\cos \theta)$ and $\sum_{m}P^{m}_{s} (\cos \theta)$, with $P_{s}$ and $P_{s} ^m$ defined as the Legendre and Associated Legendre polynomials respectively. We also compute the tensor-scalar-scalar 3-point function, and find a complicated angular dependence as an integral over products of Legendre and associated Legendre polynomials.

Probing P and CP Violations on the Cosmological Collider
A rolling axion-like coupling to a massive gauge boson generates a CP-odd imaginary trispectrum of primordial fluctuations, while local four-scalar EFT operators in exact de Sitter space produce no observable signal.

Cosmological Collider Physics and the Curvaton
In the curvaton scenario, heavy particles with masses near the inflationary Hubble scale generate observable non-Gaussian signals because the curvaton sector can have a much lower EFT cutoff than the inflaton sector.
