By a concrete computation based on full-sky formalism, it is shown that resultant CMB bispectra have nonzero signals in both parity-even $(\\ell_1 + \\ell_2 + \\ell_3 = {\\rm even})$ and parity-odd $(\\ell_1 + \\ell_2 + \\ell_3 = {\\rm odd})$ spaces, and are almost uncorrelated with usual scalar-mode equilateral bispectra. These characteristic signatures and polarization information help to detect such tensor non-Gaussianity. Use of both temperature and E-mode bispectra potentially improves of $400\\%$ the detectability with respect to an analysis with temperature bispectrum alone. Considering B-mode bispectrum, the signal-to-noise ratio may be able to increase by 3 orders of magnitude. We present the $1\\sigma$ uncertainties of a parameter depending on a coupling constant and a rolling condition for the pseudoscalar expected in the ${\\it Planck}$ and the proposed PRISM experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-21T16:31:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cmb bispectrum", "rolling pseudoscalar", "parity violation", "pseudoscalar produces large equilateral tensor", "produces large equilateral tensor non-gaussianity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "Journal of Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics", "year": 2013, "month": "Nov", "volume": 2013, "number": 11, "pages": "051" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1251884, "adsabs": "2013JCAP...11..051S" } } }
