Limits on primordial non-Gaussianities from BOSS galaxy-clustering data [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11518


We analyze the power spectrum and the bispectrum of BOSS galaxy-clustering data using the prediction from the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure at one-loop order for $\textit{both}$ the power spectrum $\textit{and}$ the bispectrum. With $\Lambda$CDM parameters fixed to Planck preferred values, we set limits on three templates of non-Gaussianities predicted by many inflationary models: the equilateral, the orthogonal, and the local shapes. After validating our analysis against simulations, we find $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm equil.}=2 \pm 212$, $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm orth.}= 126 \pm 72$, $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc.}=-30\pm 29$, at $68\%$ confidence level. These bispectrum-based constraints from Large-Scale Structure, not far from the ones of WMAP, suggest promising results from upcoming surveys.
