Abstract
Leptogenesis is generally challenging to directly test due to the very high energy scales involved. In this Letter, we propose a new probe for leptogenesis with cosmological collider physics. With the example of a cosmological Higgs collider, we demonstrate that during inflation leptogenesis models can produce detectable primordial non-Gaussianity with distinctive oscillatory patterns that encode information about the lepton-number violating couplings, the Majorana right-hand neutrino masses, and the phases, which are essential to leptogenesis.
