Paper
This paper provides a snapshot of the formal S 8 ≡ σ 8 Ω m / 0.3 tension between Planck 2015 and the Kilo Degree Survey of450 deg 2 of imaging data (KiDS-450) or the Canada France Hawaii Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS). We find that the Cosmic Microwave Bckground (CMB) and cosmic shear datasets are in tension in the standard Λ Cold Dark Matter ( Λ CDM) model, and that adding massive neutrinos does not relieve the tension. If we include an additional scaling parameter on the CMB lensing amplitude A l e n s, we find that this can put in agreement the Planck 2015 with the cosmic shear data. A l e n s is a phenomenological parameter that is found to be more than 2 σ higher than the expected value in the Planck 2015 data, suggesting an higher amount of lensing in the power spectra, not supported by the trispectrum analysis.
Analysis
This paper investigates the discrepancy between Planck 2015 Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data and cosmic shear data from KiDS-450 or CFHTLenS within the standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model.
