ACT DR6 data finds no statistically significant preference for extensions to the Lambda CDM model.
The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same
current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.
Claims
C1strongest claim
We find no statistically significant preference for a departure from the baseline Lambda CDM model. In general, models introduced to increase the Hubble constant or to decrease the amplitude of density fluctuations inferred from the primary CMB are not favored by our data.
C2weakest assumption
The analysis assumes that the chosen parametrizations of extensions correctly capture the relevant physics and that combining ACT, Planck, DESI, and Pantheon+ data does not introduce unmodeled systematics that could mask or mimic signals.
C3one line summary
ACT DR6 CMB data shows no significant evidence for extensions beyond Lambda CDM, with neutrino effective species at 2.86 plus or minus 0.13 and sum of neutrino masses below 0.082 eV at 95 percent CL.
