Joint 2nd- and 3rd-order cosmic shear analysis on KiDS-Legacy data produces Ω_m = 0.297^{+0.056}_{-0.040} and S_8 = 0.806^{+0.025}_{-0.023}, consistent with Planck and prior KiDS results while improving Ω_m precision.
CosmoPostProcess delivers simulation-calibrated radial corrections for projection-induced selection bias (20-40% amplitude near 1 h^{-1} Mpc) and baryonic effects in Euclid richness-selected cluster weak lensing profiles.
An approximate multivariate Student-t likelihood is derived for the convolution of an inverse-Wishart-based Student-t with Gaussian errors by matching covariance and multivariate kurtosis.
End-to-end validation on Euclid-like mocks shows RecSym and RecIso reconstruction yield unbiased BAO measurements, improving figure of merit for Omega_m and H0 rs by factor of ~3 across 0.9<z<1.8.
Euclid collaboration develops and validates direct and spherical-harmonic estimators plus a random-split optimization for measuring the three-point galaxy correlation function at the scale of the full Euclid survey.
