Euclid will help us to determine the source of the Hubble tension. Its measurements of Large Scale Structure formation will help us to test and constrain models and provide valuable insight into New Early Dark Energy (NEDE) as a possible solution to the H0 and S8 tensions.

My web seminar about New Early Dark Energy at CPPC in Sydney was recorded, so if you are interested in how it solves the Hubble tension, you can watch my take on it here: The Hubble tension and new physics at the eV scale

NEDE gives a best-fit value for the Hubble constant of H = 72 km/s/Mpc, but, as also originally found, with a more blue scalar spectrum implying that the simplest curvaton model is now favored over the Starobinsky inflation model. https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02708
