Constraints on the primordial isocurvature fraction, βiso, at klow = 0.002 Mpc−1 and khigh = 0.100 Mpc−1; the primordial correlation fraction, cos Δ; the isocurvature spectral index, nℐℐ; and the correlation spectral index, nℛℐ = (nℛℛ + nℐℐ)/2, for the generally correlated mixed ADI+CDI model (a), for the ADI+NDI model (b), and for the ADI+NVI model (c). All these parameters are derived, and the distributions shown here result from a uniform prior on the primary parameters shown in Fig. 38. However, the effect of the non-flat derived-parameter priors is negligible for all parameters except for nℐℐ (and nℛℐ) where the prior biases the distribution toward unity. Note that these spectral indices are not well constrained, since we do not have a detection of non-zero isocurvature or correlation amplitude. With a sufficiently small isocurvature or correlation amplitude, an arbitrarily small or large spectral index leads to a very good fit to the data, since the model is then practically adiabatic over the range covered by the Planck data.
