An example of the predicted sensitivity of the HERA experiment after a year's observation
at $z=8.5$ is shown in Figure \ref{sense}, corresponding to the sampling of the $(u,v)$-grid
shown in Figure \ref{uvsampling}. The sensivity here is a signal-to-noise,
assuming a signal magnitude computed using a semi-numerical model from the 21cmFAST
code [@Mesinger2011; @Murray2020], using parameters from [@Munoz2022].
shown in Figure \ref{uvsampling}. The sensivity here is represented as a "noise power"
(i.e. the contribution to the power spectrum from thermal noise).
This figure also demonstrates that the new
21cmSense is capable of producing sensitivity predictions in the cylindrically-averaged
2D power spectrum space, which is helpful for upcoming experiments.
