CMB lensing in a modified $\Lambda$CDM model in light of the $H_0$ tension
Abstract
The observed discrepancy of the Hubble parameter measurements in the local universe with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data may indicate a new physics. It is vital to test the alternative models that reconcile the Hubble tension with other cosmological observations in this direction. The CMB lensing is a crucial observation that relates the early universe perturbations to the matter's late-time distribution. In this work, we study the prediction of the \"uCDM as a solution for tension for CMB lensing and the low- and high-'s temperature (TT) power spectrum internal inconsistency. We show that this model relaxes the low- and high-'s TT mild inconsistency and the CMB lensing tensions simultaneously. Accordingly, \"uCDM having the same number of free parameters as CDM with lensing amplitude added, has a better fit with .
