Relative size of error bars of ΛCDM parameters (Ωch2, Ωbh2,H0, ns, log As) for different bin sizes Δℓ with respect to Δℓ = 50 for a mock CMB data set. In the rightmost panel, we show the determinant of the parameter covariance 𝒞, a proxy for the five-dimensional volume, using a different scale for the vertical axis. We note that the parameter that is affected the most by the broadening of bins is H0, which relies on an accurate measurement of the acoustic peak positions. Due to the quadratic relationship between Δℓ and σ, bin sizes smaller than Δℓ = 50 yield a negligible improvement on marginalised parameter errors (≤3%). Forecasts are fast and easy with candl, enabling thorough analysis optimisation.
