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:
-
Theory of higher order statistics/estimators -
Astrophysical and instrumental contaminants
-
More...
Applications:
-
Primordial non-Gaussianity
-
Gravitational Lensing of the CMB and Galaxies
-
Nonlinear structure formation
-
More...
Observables:
-
CMB primary anisotropy -- temperature and polarization
-
CMB secondary anisotropy surveys
-
Large Scale Structure surveys
-
Surveys of redshifted 21 cm
-
More...
