*“BOSS Constraints on Massive Particles During Inflation: The 
Cosmological Collider”*

_
_

_Abstract_

Massive spinning particles leave imprints on primordial non-Gaussianity 
via their coupling to the inflaton, even despite their exponential 
dilution during inflation. Improving on modern Cosmological Bootstrap 
techniques I present a search for these particles using the 
redshift-space galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum multipoles measured 
in BOSS, the first analysis of such kind with cosmological data. I focus 
on spin-0 particles in the principal series and constrain their 
couplings to the inflaton at varying speed of propagation and mass, 
marginalizing over the unknown inflaton self interactions. This is a 
fundamental step towards inflationary spectroscopy from cosmological 
observations, the ultimate link between the physics of the infinitely 
large and infinitely small.
