Abstract

We investigate the imprint of dark energy on the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) angular power spectrum on scales of to , and find that the kSZ signal is sensitive to the dark energy parameter. For example, varying the constant by 20\% around results in a change on the kSZ spectrum; changing the dark energy dynamics parametrized by by , a 30\% change on the kSZ spectrum is expected. We discuss the observational aspects and develop a fitting formula for the kSZ power spectrum. Finally, we discuss how the precise modeling of the post-reionization signal would help the constraints on patchy reionization signal, which is crucial for measuring the duration of reionization.
