Minimal signatures of the standard model in non-Gaussianities

Minimal signatures of the standard model in non-Gaussianities

We show that the leading coupling between a shift symmetric inflaton and the Standard Model fermions leads to an induced electroweak symmetry breaking due to particle production during inflation, and as a result, a unique oscillating feature in non-Gaussianities. In this one parameter model, the enhanced production of Standard Model …
