13. Angular power spectra sensitive to relation between dark matter and star formation history To study in great numbers we need to study them in the confusion limit. Can measure angular power spectrum of diffuse background, with shape and amplitude dependent on relation of star formation history to dark matter density history. The latter we can calculate well from first principles. Figures by Nicholas Hall

29. 29 Large 150 to 220 spectral index For S proportional to  about = 220 GHz we find  = 3.86 § 0.26 from SPT data In RJ limit,  =  + 2 For T d = 34K and sources at z = 1 (or 2) we get  =  + 1.7 (or 1.5) Roughly expect for our single- SED model,  = 1.38 +  = 3.38 Theoretical models calibrated with astronomical and laboratory data suggest  ~ 2 (Gordon 1995). Meny et al. (2007) claim effects of long-range disorder in dust can lead to  > 2 Silva et al. (1998) models

36. 36 Clustering power will be measured with high precision by Planck very soon Relevant Planck channels: 143, 217, 353, 545, 850 GHz CIB is the dominant source of fluctuation power over large parts of sky, and a large range of angular scales in the highest frequency channels of Planck Knox et al. (2001)

37. 37 Precision Measurement Expected from Planck F for FIRB = CIB Forecast for Planck 545 GHz shown In addition will have auto and cross-frequency power from 217, 353, 545, 850 Milky Way Dust

38. 38 Cross-correlation opportunities CIB anisotropies arise from a broad range in redshifts and therefore have cross correlations with other tracers of large-scale structure Can reconstruct the lensing potential from the lensed CMB and cross-correlate with CIB Lensing-FIRB cross- power forecast for Planck Song et al. (2003)

39. 39 Cross-correlate with CMB 2 ! Square of kSZ signal correlates with cosmic shear (Dore et al. 2003) Should also correlate with CIB -- might be first way effect of kSZ is detected

41. Another model Righi, Hernandez- Monteagudo & Sunyaev (2008) Righi et al. work out CIB power spectrum predictions associating DSFGs with mergers

42. Righi model has lots of light from very high redshift

43. Righi et al. predictions SPT detected clustering power at 220 GHz

44. Phenomenology ripe for development Merger model of Righi et al. can accommodate data as well as the `light traces (halo) mass’ models. How do we discriminate? How do we parameterize the connection between star formation and dark matter evolution to help us interpret the forthcoming high-precision data? I am working on these questions with Z. Haiman (Columbia) and A. Benson (Caltech)

47. 47 Summary CIB offers us a probe of entire history of star formation From SPT data, we have a first detection of the clustering of CIB at millimeter wavelengths, at expected amplitudes. A simple model can accommodate frequency dependence of CIB anisotropy from 150 to 1900 GHz (with steep emissivity index) Observational progress in the confusion limit will be rapid and is driving the development of theoretical modeling to facilitate interpretation Phenomenology of the CIB is very ripe for further development, so that we can turn the observational signatures into interesting conclusions about the history of star formation in the Universe.
