We study the impact of higher dimension operators in the inflaton Lagrangian on the non-gaussianity of the scalar spectrum. These terms can strongly enhance the effect without spoiling slow-roll, though it is difficult to exceed f_NL ~ 1, because the scale which suppresses the operators cannot be too low, if we want the effective field theory description to make sense. In particular we explicitly calculate the 3-point function given by an higher derivative interaction of the form (\nabla\phi)^4, which is expected to give the most important contribution. The angular dependence of the result turns out to be quite different from the minimal case without higher dimension operators.

Inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges
The inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges is derived analytically, yielding beta^zeta_nl = (b^zeta_nl)^2 in the counter-collinear limit and growing flattened-limit signals.

Cosmological Collider Physics and the Curvaton
In the curvaton scenario, heavy particles with masses near the inflationary Hubble scale generate observable non-Gaussian signals because the curvaton sector can have a much lower EFT cutoff than the inflaton sector.
