Forecasting local Primordial Non-Gaussianities from UNIONS Lyman-Break Galaxies and Planck CMB lensing

Constantin Payerne, William d'Assignies, Christophe Yèche +4

Local Primordial non-Gaussianities (PNGs), characterized by , provide a powerful window into the physics of inflation. Cross-correlating high-redshift tracer…
