Understand

Amongst standard model parameters that are constrained by cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations, the optical depth $\tau$ stands out as a nuisance parameter.

While $\tau$ provides some crude limits on reionization, it also degrades constraints on other cosmological parameters.
Here we explore how 21 cm cosmology---as a direct probe of reionization---can be used to independently predict $\tau$ in an effort to improve CMB parameter constraints.
We develop two complementary schemes for doing so.
