Description

We examine the evolution of the IGM Ly{alpha} optical depth distribution using the transmitted flux probability distribution function (PDF) in a high-resolution sample of 55 QSOs spanning absorption redshifts 1.7<z<5.8. The data are compared to two theoretical {tau} distributions: a model distribution based on the density distribution of Miralda-Escude et al. (2000ApJ...530....1M; MHR00) and a lognormal distribution.
