SUMMARY:The Cosmic Infrared Background: a tool and a nuisance for cosmolog

DESCRIPTION:The Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) spans a wide range of red
 shifts. Its measurements are thus a powerful tool to map the star formatio
 n at high redshifts and connect the host dark matter halos with the galaxi
 es residing in them. Also\, in cross-correlation with the cosmic microwave
  background (CMB) and galaxies\, CIB acts as a cosmological observable. De
 spite being an excellent astrophysical and cosmological probe\, CIB acts a
 s a foreground for the CMB and line intensity mapping studies. In this tal
 k\, I will explore both these sides and present a couple of novel ways the
  CIB can act as a cosmological tool and a foreground. Finally\, I will als
 o present a new estimator for detecting the screening of the CMB by the la
 rge-scale structure which might provide us with a first-ever detection of 
 this effect.
