Early dark energy does not restore cosmological concordance (2020, background): “Upcoming CMB polarization data from Simons Observatory (Ade et al. (2019)) and CMB-S4 (Abazajian et al. (2019)) will independently constrain θs to this level (or better), providing a useful cross-check on the current CMB-temperaturedominated constraints.”
