Health checkup test of the standard cosmological model in view of recent cosmic microwave background anisotropies experiments

We present an updated data-analysis comparison of the most recent observations of the cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies and polarization angular power spectra released by four different experiments: the Planck satellite on one side, and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACTPol) and the South Pole Telescope (SPT-3G), combined with the WMAP satellite 9-years observation data in order to be ``Planck-independent'' on the other side. We investigate in a systematic way 8 extended cosmological models that differ from the baseline case by the inclusion of many different combinations of additional degrees of freedom, with the aim of finding a viable minimal extended model that can bring all the CMB experiments in agreement. Our analysis provides several hints for anomalies in the CMB angular power spectra in tension with the standard cosmological model that persist even in these multiparameter spaces. This indicates that either significant unaccounted-for systematics in the CMB data are producing biased results or that is an incorrect/incomplete description of Nature. We conclude that only future independent high-precision CMB temperature and polarization measurements could provide a definitive answer.
