The new [epoch of reionization] map may carry more information than even the cosmic microwave background radiation.- Avi Loeb, Scientific American, Nov. 06
We are looking to see the signal of the neutral hydrogen during reionization.

Seeing in the Dark
The 21 cm or 1.4 GHz transition marks a protected band for radio astronomy, due to the importance of hydrogen as an astronomical tracer. However, the hydrogen at the EoR is redshifted to a lower frequency.
Machele Cable of Wake Forest
Ned Wright's Cosmology Tutorial
Reionization occurs z ~ 6 -14, redshifted to 100 – 230 MHz

Array, or, Interferometer• Actual imaging of the neutral hydrogen will take
many more times the sensitivity of current telescopes
• Instead, measure power spectrum. This is natural for an interferometer, which detects spatial frequencies

Astronomy in the desert…
• Far away from humans for next generation radio telescopes
• PAPER is poised to make the first detection of the Epoch of Reionization signal, giving us a clue to the first stars and galaxies
• Upcoming projects need bright young scientists and engineers to continue these explorations
