Abstract
Intersective polynomials are polynomials in having roots every modulus. For example, and are intersective polynomials, but is not. The purpose of this note is to deduce, using results of Green-Tao \cite{gt-chen} and Lucier \cite{lucier}, that for any intersective polynomial , inside any subset of positive relative density of the primes, we can find distinct primes such that for some integer . Such a conclusion also holds in the Chen primes (where by a Chen prime we mean a prime number such that is the product of at most 2 primes).
