Title:
The status of the high-redshift 21 cm experiments
Abstract:
The last decade has witnessed the emergence of the 21 cm cosmology which aims at probing the Universe with the 21 cm hyperfine transition. This technique has been applied especially to the era of the so-called Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization. I will review the current status of the experiments designed to probe these two epochs and especially focus on the latest results from the LOFAR telescope which has just published new upper limits.
