Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We study effects of multiple scalar fields (scalar isocurvatons) with the Hubble scale masses on the inflationary bispectrum in the squeezed limit, particular paying attention to the question how to disentangle mass spectra of such fields. We consider two isocurvatons with almost degenerate masses and the coupling of an inflaton to both isocurvatons as an example. We find that the characteristic feature associated with nearly degenerate masses appears in the oscillating part of the bispectrum, which is dominated by a waveform with a specific wavelength roughly given by an inverse of the mass difference. Such a waveform with a relatively longer wavelength can be easily identified and useful for disentangling almost degenerate mass spectra. This situation is in sharp contrast with the case of collider experiments on earth, where the very precise energy resolution corresponding to the mass difference is required to disentangle almost degenerate mass spectra. Therefore, if future observations could detect this kind of a characteristic feature in bispectrum of the primordial curvature perturbations, it can prove the existence of degenerate multiple particles around the Hubble scale and resolve their mass degeneracies.
