N13 — Effective neutrino number N_eff

N13: Effective neutrino number N_eff. CMB-S4.

Status boundary

Falsification status is a program-side tracking label. It separates current internal stance from formal verification, empirical support, and external acceptance; it is not a claim that the wider scientific community has accepted the result.
