Probing the Early Universe: a study of the reionization era

The quest to understand the evolution of the Universe is the most central theme in cosmology. The Big Bang model is the most successful description of this evolution and spans all scales from sub-atomic to the present size of the Universe. To begin with the Universe was opaque due to the frequen...
