Cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies have and will continue to revolutionize our understanding of cosmology. The recent discovery of the previously predicted acoustic peaks in the power spectrum has established a working cosmological model: a critical density universe consisting of mainly dark matter and dark energy, which formed its structure through gravitational instability from quantum fluctuations during an inflationary epoch. Future observations should test this model and measure its key cosmological parameters with unprecedented precision. The phenomenology and cosmological implications of the acoustic peaks are developed in detail. Beyond the peaks, the yet to be detected secondary anisotropies and polarization present opportunities to study the physics of inflation and the dark energy. The analysis techniques devised to extract cosmological information from voluminous CMB data sets are outlined, given their increasing importance in experimental cosmology as a whole.

  1. DESI DR2 Results II: Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmological Constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2025-03 accept novelty 7.0

    DESI DR2 BAO data exhibits 2.3 sigma tension with CMB in Lambda-CDM but prefers evolving dark energy (w0 > -1, wa < 0) at 3.1 sigma with CMB and 2.8-4.2 sigma when including supernovae.

  2. Geometric Constraints on the Pre-Recombination Expansion History from the Hubble Tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Model-independent reconstruction shows that early-universe modifications resolving the Hubble tension exist at the background level, requiring a smooth ~15% pre-recombination expansion rate enhancement.

  3. A barotropic alternative to Early Dark Energy for alleviating the $H_0$ tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A barotropic fluid with ω_s ≈ 0.29 and Ω_s ≈ 1.5×10^{-5} raises the inferred H0 to match SH0ES while remaining consistent with Planck CMB, DESI BAO, and Pantheon data.

  4. A multi-axion model of inflation and dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 reject novelty 4.0

    A 300-mode Kaluza-Klein axion tower is proposed as a unified inflaton and dark-matter sector, but the lightest state's quoted lifetime contradicts the paper's own decay-rate formula.

  5. Hubble tension: a short review of theoretical explanations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0

    A comprehensive review finds no theoretical Hubble-tension solution yet passes all consistency tests; new early-dark-energy chains reach high H0 only when the SH0ES calibration is added.

  6. Phenomenology of EDE-photon coupling I: constant photon-sector deviation

    physics.gen-ph 2026-06 conditional novelty 4.0

    A constant photon-sector deviation ε ≈ 0.023 is preferred by Pantheon+SH0ES+BAO over ε=0, with diagnostic shifts in recombination and CMB peaks.

  7. Distinguishing Higgs portal and neutralino dark matter via vector boson fusion

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Vector boson fusion processes at the LHC distinguish Higgs portal dark matter from neutralino dark matter at over 5 sigma using jet kinematics and a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test with linear discriminant analysis.

  8. Redshift evolution of the Hubble constant: Constraints and new insights from an interacting dark energy model

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Modified IDE model with interaction parameter alpha ~0.01 from late-universe data shows H0 decreasing with redshift, tightening to 10^-5 when CMB priors are added.
