Measurements of the E_G(R) statistic for the KiDS-1000 source sample in each LRG lens redshift slice. Errors are derived from the diagonal elements of the analytical covariance matrix, propagating errors where appropriate. The thickness of the purple horizontal stripes illustrates the 68% confidence range of the prediction of the Planck “TTTEEE+lowE+lensing” parameter chain at each redshift assuming a flat ΛCDM Universe, and the red bands illustrate the 68% confidence ranges of a scale-dependent model E_G(R, z_i) = A_i[1+α log₁₀(R)] discussed in Sect. 9.3.
