Description
Free electrons liberated by the reionization process scatter CMB photons and lead to
additonal temperature and polarization anisotropies. Along with a large scale
polarization feature there are both temperature and polarization anisotropies on
arcminute scales. The signals are small, but have a lot of information about both
reionization and large scale structure, especially when combined with future
measurements of the 21cm signal. The currently deepest CMB experiment on arcminute
scales is the South Pole Telescope; I'll report on the current status and prospects
for reionization studies.
