# Summary

The 21cm line of neutral hydrogen is a powerful probe of the high-redshift
universe, and is the subject of a number of current and upcoming
universe (Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization), with an unprecedented potential to
inform us about key processes of early galaxy formation, the first stars and even
cosmology and structure formation [@Liu2020], via intensity mapping.
It is the subject of a number of current and upcoming
low-frequency radio experiments, including the MWA [@mwa], LOFAR [@lofar], HERA [@hera]
and the SKA [@Pritchard2015].
and the SKA [@Pritchard2015], which complement the detailed information concerning the
brightest sources in these early epochs from powerful optical and near-infrared telescopes
such as the JWST [@jwst].


21cmSense is a Python package that provides a modular framework for calculating the
sensitivity of these experiments, in order to enhance the process of their design.

nearest-grid-point interpolation onto a regular grid in the $(u,v)$-plane.
Furthermore, importantly the $(u,v)$-grid is chosen to have cells that are comparable
to the instrument's Fourier-space beam size, so that a particular baseline essentially
measures a single cell in the grid, and no more.
This maximizes resolution while keeping the covariance between cells small.

7. Built-in profiles for several major experiments: MWA, HERA and SKA-1. These can be
used as-is, or as a starting point for defining a custom instrument.

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 [@21cmfast], using parameters from [@Munoz22].
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.
