Primordial Non-Gaussianity

The tiny temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) encode information about the earliest moments of our universe. While simple inflationary models predict these fluctuations should be nearly Gaussian (randomly distributed like a bell curve), deviations from Gaussianity—called primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG)—would reveal details about the physics of inflation and the very first instants after the Big Bang. Detecting PNG is one of the key goals of modern cosmology.

Gluon Saturation

At extremely high energies, gluons inside protons multiply rapidly—but this growth cannot continue forever. Eventually, gluons become so densely packed that they begin to recombine, reaching a state of "saturation" described by the Color Glass Condensate framework. The upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory will provide unprecedented opportunities to study this exotic state of matter.
