Angelo Esposito and collaborators awarded with the Buchalter Cosmology Prize
The work "Squeezing fNL out of the matter bispectrum with consistency relations", by Dr. Angelo Esposito and his collaborators, has been awarded with the first prize of the Buchalter Cosmology Prize.
This annual prize, created by Dr. Ari Buchalter in 2014, seeks to reward new ideas or discoveries that have the potential to produce a breakthrough advance in our understanding of the origin, structure, and evolution of the Universe.
The work by Dr. Esposito and collaborators has been recognized by the judging panel as “a powerful and original approach, demonstrating that consistency relations characterizing local primordial non-Gaussianity can be used to constrain basic principles of inflationary models with minimal assumptions, opening the door to strong tests of fundamental physics with future cosmological surveys.”
