Laborato?rio de Astrof?isica Teo?rica e Observacional DCET/UESC (Dated: February 2, 2008) This work presents a reduced χ2ν test to search for non-gaussian signals in the CMBR TT power spectrum of recent CMBR data, WMAP, ACBAR and CBI data sets, assuming a mixed density field including adiabatic and isocurvature fluctuations. We assume a skew positive mixed model with adiabatic inflation perturbations plus additional isocurvature perturbations possibly produced by topological defects. The joint probability distribution used in this context is a weighted combination of Gaussian and non-Gaussian random fields. Results from simulations of CMBR temperature for the mixed field show a distinct signature in CMB power spectrum for very small deviations (～ 0.1%) from a pure Gaussian field, and can be used as a direct test for the nature of primordial fluctuations. A reduced χ2ν test applied on the most recent CMBR observations reveals that an isocurvature fluctuations field is not ruled out and indeed permits a very good description for a flat geometry Λ-CDM universe, χ2930～ 1.5, rather than the simple inflationary standard model with χ2930～ 2.3. This result may looks is particular discrepant with the reduced χ 2 of 1.07 obtained with the same model in Spergel et al. (2003) for temperature only, however, our work is restricted to a region of the parameter space that does not include the best fit model for TT only of Spergel et al. (2003). PACS numbers: I.
