Generalising axion-like particle as the curvaton: sourcing primordial density perturbation and non-Gaussianities by Anish Ghoshal, Abhishek Naskar

“…We also predict local non-Gaussianity signals for bi-spectrum and tri-spectrum $$f_{NL}$$ f NL and $$g_{NL}$$ g NL , as a function of the ratio $$m_u/m_d$$ m u / m d , which are within the allowed range in the latest Planck observations and are detectable with future observations. Particularly we find that the value of $$f_{NL}$$ f NL and $$g_{NL}$$ g NL are dependent on the ratio of $$m_u$$ m u and $$m_d$$ m d : $$f_{NL}$$ f NL is more or less positive for all scenarios except $$m_u = m_d$$ m u = m d and $$g_{NL}$$ g NL is always positive irrespective of the ratio between $$m_u$$ m u and $$m_d$$ m d . …”
