Relic Neutrinos Probing Small Scale Primordial Non-Gaussianity
Abstract
Relic neutrinos retain a record of electromagnetic entropy production after neutrino decoupling, probing primordial modes erased from the primary CMB. We derive the cubic photon number source from acoustic damping and its leading folded sensitive bispectrum window, with neutrino decoupling, thermalization, and acoustic coherence combined in a single response kernel. For excited initial states, this kernel filters the physical folded profile and yields a sharpness dependent transmission condition, directly connecting small scale primordial non-Gaussianity to relic neutrino capture rates.
