The reionization of intergalactic hydrogen has received intense theoretical scrutiny over the past two decades. Here, we approach the process formally as a percolation process and phase transition. Using semi-numeric simulations, we…
Modelling reionization often requires significant assumptions about the properties of ionizing sources. Here, we infer the total output of hydrogen-ionizing photons (the ionizing emissivity, $\dot{N}_\textrm{ion}$) at $z=4-14$ from current…
Roaming has been proposed as a possible mechanism contributing to molecular dissociation in which the fragments can move around one another at relatively large intermolecular distances before separating entirely. While roaming, there is…
