42. The redshift at reionization zre is not a free parameter here but a parameter derived from τ related by τ=σT∫0zredzne(z)/[(1+z) 2H(z)], where ne is the number density of electrons and σT is the Thompson scattering cross-section, assuming rapid reionization.
43. In a single scalar field potential with infrared cutoffs the contribution to low multipole TT data from tensor modes is small (J. Lasue and T. Souradeep, (unpublished)), hence we have not taken into account the tensor spectral index, nt.
