New Early Dark Energy is compatible with current LSS data [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2009.00006


Recently a full-shape analysis of Large-Scale Structure (LSS) data was employed to provide new constraints on a class of Early Dark Energy (EDE) models. In this note we derive similar constraints on New Early Dark Energy (NEDE) using the publicly available PyBird code. Including the full-shape analysis of LSS together with measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and supernovae (SN) data, we report $ H_0= 71.2 \pm 1.0~\textrm{km}\, \textrm{s}^{-1}\, \textrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ ($68 \%$ C.L.) together with a $\simeq 4 \, \sigma$ evidence for a non-vanishing fraction of NEDE. This is an insignificant change to the value previously found without full-shape LSS data, $ H_0= 71.4 \pm 1.0~\textrm{km}\, \textrm{s}^{-1}\, \textrm{Mpc}^{-1} $ ($68 \%$ C.L.). As a result, NEDE is compatible with current constraints from LSS data.
