What it Takes to Measure Reionization with Fast Radio Bursts

Abstract
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are extra-galactic radio transients which exhibit a
distance-dependent dispersion of their signal, and thus can be used as
cosmological probes. In this article we, for the first time, apply a
model-independent approach to measure reionization from synthetic FRB data
assuming these signals are detected beyond redshift 5. This method allows us to
constrain the full shape of the reionization history as well as the CMB optical
depth
