Look for deviations from w = 1, indicating a dynamical dark energy. Euclid alone to give FoM DE > 400 ( 1-sigma errors on w p, & w a of 0.02 and 0.1 respectively) Measure the growth index, γ, with a precision better than 0.02 Measure the growth rate to better than 0.05 in redshift bins between 0.5< z < 2. Separately constrain the two relativistic potentials Ψ, Φ. Test the cosmological principle Detect dark matter halos on a mass scale between 10 8 and >10 15 M Sun Measure the dark matter mass profiles on cluster and galactic scales Measure the sum of neutrino masses, the number of neutrino species and the neutrino hierarchy with an accuracy of a few hundredths of an ev Measure the matter power spectrum on a large range of scales in order to extract values for the parameters σ 8 and n to a 1-sigma accuracy of For extended models, improve constraints on n and α wrt to Planck alone by a factor 2. Measure a non-gaussianity parameter : f NL for local-type models with an error < +/-2.
