All would be very welcome.

Title : COSMIC REIONIZATION: THEORETICAL MODELLING AND UPCOMING
OBSERVATIONS
Abstract:
With the advent in the near future of radio telescopes as LOFAR,
PAST, MWA a new window on the high-redshift universe will be opened.
In particular, it will be possible, for the first time, to observe
the 21cm signal from the diffuse Intergalactic Medium (IGM) prior to
its reionization and thus probe the "dark ages". In this talk I will
critically discuss the theoretical modelling of IGM reionization and
present results from numerical simulations. Finally, I will discuss
the observability of the 21cm signal from the diffuse IGM.
