Status of Reionization-Era Line Intensity Mapping

Speaker

Patrick Breysse (New York University)

Description

Recent years have seen an explosion in the number of line intensity mapping experiments, particularly those targeting the Epoch of Reionization. By targeting unresolved emission of a variety of spectral lines, these surveys will provide new windows into the nature of the high-redshift objects responsible for ionizing the interstellar medium. In this talk, I will briefly summarize the status of current and near-future experimental efforts, explore the scientific results they hope to obtain, and highlight important open questions as we move into the next generation of cosmological surveys.
