dc.description.abstractThe 21-cm line emitted by neutral hydrogen (HI) during the Dark Ages carries imprints of pristine primordial correlations. In models of inflation driven by a single, canonical scalar field, we show that a phase of ultra-slow-roll can lead to a null in all the primordial correlations at a specific wave number kdip. We consider scenarios wherein the null in the correlations occurs over wave numbers 1≲kdip≲10  Mpc−1, and examine the prospects of detecting such a damping in the HI signal due to the nulls at the level of power and bispectra in future observational missions.en_US
