Does the Escape Fraction Prescription Shape Reionization History and Morphology?

The escape fraction of ionizing photons, $f_{\rm esc}$, is one of the least constrained quantities of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), and the opacity of the intergalactic medium prevents its direct measurement at high redshifts. We constrain three power-law parameterizations, $f_{\rm esc}(z)$, $f_{\rm esc}(M_{\rm h})$...
