We analyse the primordial density perturbation when it is generated by a `curvaton' field different from the inflaton. In some cases this perturbation may have large isocurvature components, fully correlated or anti-correlated with the adiabatic component. It may also have a significant non-Gaussian component. All of these effects are calculated in a form which will enable direct comparison with current and forthcoming observational data.

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.
