CMB temperature anisotropy during reionisation the temperature anisotropies during the reionisation Doppler effect redshifted (blueshifted) CMB velocity Free electron Gravitational potential CMB photon , : optical depth of Thomson scattering
E-mode polarisation Thomson scattering + quadrupole in CMB temperature anisotropies produce the CMB polarisation Expression of E-mode polarisation Source term : Quadrupole Transfer function of CMB temp. quadrupole E-mode polarisation depends on initial gravitational potential
Cross-correlation between 21 cm lines and CMB 21 cm lines : neutral hydrogen CMB anisotropy during reionisation Temperature anisotropy : Doppler effect Ionized fraction, density fluctuations Polarisation anisotropy : Thomson scattering Ionized fraction, quadrupole component of CMB temp. They are different direct and complementary probes of reionisation The cross-correlations will provide even more information than their respective auto-correlations We focus on the cross-correlation in the linear order ( large scales ).

Toy model of reionisation Evolution of average ionised fraction : reionisation epoch : reionisation duration To obtain , we make two main assumptions • ionising photons comes from collapsed objects ( T_vir>> 10^4 ) • Ionised fraction is related to the ratio of ionising photons per hydrogen Cross power spectrum Alvarez et al. (2006) : growth rate of matter power spectrum : average bias : minimum mass of sources
Angular power spectrum of the cross-correlation • Spectrum shape reflects baryon density fluctuations • The amplitude depends on the duration of reionisation The longer the reionisation lasts, the lower the amplitude becomes.

Angular power spectrum of the cross-correlation H. T et al. 2008 • Spectrum shape reflects the quadrupole of CMB 1 -st peak position The angular separation scale of the quadrupole component • The duration of reionisation induces damping of the oscillations on small scales If reionisation has the long duration, quadrupole components during reionisation are superposed. The longer it lasts, the more oscillations are damped.

Summary • We investigated the detectability of the 21 cm-CMB cross-correlation by the signal-to-noise analysis. • The 21 cm-CMB temp. cross-correlation is sensitive to the reionization duration. Therefore the SN ratio depends on the reionization duration. • If the reionisation process is instantaneous, LOFAR can detect the cross-correlation signal between CMB temp. and 21 cm fluctuations with S/N=1. • The detection of the 21 cm-Emode cross-correlation is difficult. • The noise from the primordial E-mode polarization is dominant on small scales. Therefore, the 21 cm-Emode cross-correlation is insensitive to the reionization duration.
