Non-Gaussian statistics are rapidly becoming crucial cosmological tools.  The main aim of this workshop is s to bring together a broad spectrum of researchers studying various observables, and epochs.


The goal will be to share techniques for optimizing estimators and dealing with systematics associated with searches for primordial and non-primordial sources of non-Gaussianity.


Main topics to be covered include:


General:

  1. BulletTheory of higher order statistics/estimators

  2. BulletAstrophysical and instrumental contaminants

  3. BulletMore...


Applications:

  1. BulletPrimordial non-Gaussianity

  2. BulletGravitational Lensing of the CMB and Galaxies

  3. BulletNonlinear structure formation

  4. BulletMore...


Observables:

  1. BulletCMB primary anisotropy -- temperature and polarization

  2. BulletCMB secondary anisotropy surveys

  3. BulletLarge Scale Structure surveys

  4. BulletSurveys of redshifted 21 cm

  5. BulletMore...
