How good will it get?
For the favoured cosmological constant the best
signal to noise one can expect is about 7-10.
This requires significant sky
coverage, surveys with large
numbers of galaxies and some
understanding of the bias.
The contribution to (S/N)2 as a
function of multipole moment.
This is proportional to the number
of modes, or the fraction of sky
covered, though this does depend
on the geometry somewhat.
Of course, this assumes we have
the right model-- It might be more!
