Projecting Constraints on Scale-Dependent Non-Gaussianity
Becker, Adam (University of Michigan)

Non-Gaussianity is one of the few available probes of inflation, and arguably the most powerful one. Future results from Planck and from large-scale structure surveys will place tight constraints on many of the most popular models of non-Gaussianity. We have projected the constraints that will be placed on a simple physically-motivated scale-dependent form of non-Gaussianity (a generalization of the local model) from CMB and LSS data in the near (and not-so-near) future.
