Primordial features, in particular oscillatory signals, imprinted in the primordial power spectrum of density perturbations represent a clear window of opportunity for detecting new physics at high-energy scales. Future spectroscopic and photometric measurements from the space mission will provide unique constraints on the primordial power spectrum, thanks to the redshift coverage and high-accuracy measurement of nonlinear scales, thus allowing us to investigate deviations from the standard power-law primordial power spectrum. We consider two models with primordial undamped oscillations superimposed on the matter power spectrum described by $1 + A X X X X one linearly spaced in $k$ space with $ lin k/k_*$ where $k_* = Mpc $ and the other logarithmically spaced in $k$ space with $ log We note that A X $ is the amplitude of the primordial feature, $ X $ is the dimensionless frequency, and $ X lin log $. We provide forecasts from spectroscopic and photometric primary probes on the standard cosmological parameters $ m,0 b,0 $, $h$, $n_ s $, and $ and the primordial feature parameters A _X$, $ and $ We focus on the uncertainties of the primordial feature amplitude A _X$ and on the capability of to detect primordial features at a given frequency. We also study a nonlinear density reconstruction method in order to retrieve the oscillatory signals in the primordial power spectrum, which are damped on small scales in the late-time Universe due to cosmic structure formation. Finally, we also include the expected measurements from galaxy-clustering bispectrum and from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We forecast uncertainties in estimated values of the cosmological parameters with a Fisher matrix method applied to spectroscopic galaxy clustering ( weak lensing (WL), photometric galaxy clustering ( the cross correlation (XC) between and WL, the spectroscopic galaxy clustering bispectrum, the CMB temperature and $E$-mode polarisation, the temperature-polarisation cross correlation, and CMB weak lensing. We consider two sets of specifications for the probes (pessimistic and optimistic) and three different CMB experiment configurations, that is Planck Simons Observatory (SO), and CMB Stage-4 (CMB-S4). We find the following percentage relative errors in the feature amplitude with primary probes: for the linear (logarithmic) feature model, with a fiducial value of A _X = 0.01$, $ = 10$, and $ = 0$: 21<!PCT!> (22<!PCT!>) in the pessimistic settings and 18<!PCT!> (18<!PCT!>) in the optimistic settings at a 68.3<!PCT!> confidence level (CL) using While the uncertainties on the feature amplitude are strongly dependent on the frequency value when single probes are considered, we find robust constraints on A X )$.

We present a novel methodology for exploring local features directly in the primordial power spectrum using a genetic algorithm (GA) pipeline coupled with a Boltzmann solver and Cosmic Microwave Background data (CMB). After testing the robustness of our pipeline using mock data, we apply it to the latest CMB data, including Planck 2018 and CamSpec PR4. Our model-independent approach provides an analytical reconstruction of the power spectra that best fits the data , with the unsupervised machine learning algorithm exploring a functional space built off simple ‘grammar’ functions. We find significant improvements upon the simple power-law behaviour, by Δχ2 ≲ −21, consistently with more traditional model-based approaches. These best-fits always address both the low-ℓ anomaly in the TT spectrum and the residual high-ℓ oscillations in the TT, TE and EE spectra. The proposed pipeline provides an adaptable tool for exploring features in the primordial power spectrum in a model-independent way, providing valuable hints to theorists for constructing viable inflationary models that are consistent with the current and upcoming CMB surveys.
