Description
We forecast the sensitivity of thirty-five different combinations of future Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure data sets to cosmological parameters and to the total neutrino mass. We work under conservative assumptions accounting for uncertainties in the modelling of systematics. In particular, for galaxy redshift surveys, we remove the information coming from non-linear scales. We use Bayesian parameter extraction from mock likelihoods to avoid Fisher matrix uncertainties. Our grid of results allows for a direct comparison between the sensitivity of different data sets. We find that future surveys will measure the neutrino mass with high significance and will not be substantially affected by potential parameter degeneracies between neutrino masses, the density of relativistic relics, and a possible time-varying equation of state of Dark Energy.
