Cosmic Reionization on Computers: The Evolution of the Ionizing Background and Mean Free Path

Observations of the end stages of reionization indicate that at z  ≈ 5–6, the ionizing background is not uniform and the mean free path (MFP) changes drastically. As the MFP is closely related to the distribution of Lyman-limit systems (LLSs) and damped Ly α absorbers, it is important to understand...
