abstract
The precise measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy angular power spectra made by the Planck satellite show an anomalous value for the lensing amplitude, defined by the parameter $A_{lens}$, at more than $2$ standard deviations. In this paper, after discussing the current status of the anomaly, we quantify the potential of future CMB measurements in confirming/falsifying the $A_{lens}$ tension. We find that a space-based experiment as LiteBIRD could falsify the current $A_{lens}$ tension at the level of $5$ standard deviations. Similar constraints can be achieved by a Stage-III experiment assuming an external prior on the reionization optical depth of $\tau=0.055\pm0.010$ as already provided by the Planck satellite. A Stage-IV experiment could further test the $A_{lens}$ tension at the level of $10$ standard deviations. A comparison between temperature and polarization measurements made at different frequencies could further identify possible systematics responsible for $A_{lens}>1$. We show that, in the case of the CMB-S4 experiment, polarization data alone will have the potential of falsifying the current $A_{lens}$ anomaly at more than five standard deviation and to strongly bound its frequency dependence. We also evaluate the future constraints on a possible scale dependence for $A_{lens}$.

DESI DR1 full-shape clustering yields Ω_m = 0.2962 ± 0.0095 and σ_8 = 0.842 ± 0.034 in flat ΛCDM, tightening to H_0 = 68.40 ± 0.27 km/s/Mpc with CMB and DESY3, while favoring w_0 > -1, w_a < 0 and limiting neutrino mass sum to < 0.071 eV.
DESI DR2 BAO and full-shape data plus CMB yield ∑m_ν < 0.0642 eV (95% CL) under ΛCDM, in 3σ tension with oscillation lower limits, relaxed to <0.163 eV in w0waCDM.
