Reionization Optical Depth

Reionization Optical Depth is a dimensionless cosmological parameter that quantifies the cumulative probability of Thomson scattering between cosmic microwave background photons and free electrons produced during the epoch of reionization, thereby characterizing the transparency of the universe to microwave radiation following the reionization era.
