Abstract

We propose a set of new statistics which can be extracted out of the angular distribution of the Fourier transform of the temperature anisotropies in the small field limit. They quantify generic non-Gaussian structure and complement the power spectrum in characterizing the sampled distribution function of a data set (contribution to the 18th Texas Symposium Proceedings)
