Description

I will discuss the technical and processing requirements necessary for a successful detection of the redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen during the Cosmic Dawn with NenuFar, as well as other challenges that need to be overcome such as low-frequency wide-field ionospheric scintillation.
