I argue that the reionization may be non--Gaussian because of feedback effects. Secondary fluctuations on arc--minute scales provide an important probe of the efficiency of rescattering.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-05-31T18:29:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cosmic microwave background", "reionization", "cold dark matter-dominated universe", "primordial density fluctuations", "primordial temperature fluctuations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "Plain TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 373427 } } }
