The New era of EUropean CMB Cosmology with the South Pole Telescope

The goal of NEUCosmoS is to unravel some of the most severe inconsistencies that are currently threatening the so-far very successful standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM). The most critical one is the steadily growing 5σ difference in the measurement of the expansion rate of the universe today, the Hubble constant, from early-time probes (CMB) versus late-time ones (supernovae Ia). Additional discrepancies persist in the amplitude of matter perturbations, σ8, and in other fundamental parameters, such as the curvature of the universe. These anomalies, if confirmed, will have revolutionary implications for physics. In this context, NEUCosmoS will provide new, ground-breaking insight through the…
