We forecast the CMB lensing reconstruction, lensing-galaxy, and lensing-cosmic infrared background(CIB) cross-correlation signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) for Ali CPT-1.

We take into account the impacts of inhomogeneous hit counts and mean-field bias due to incomplete sky coverage.In the first stage, our results show that the 150 GHz channel can measure the lensing signals at 15σ significance with the MV estimator.
