The goal of the proposed research is to make the most detailed and reliable theoretical prediction for the distribution of fluctuations in the cosmic near infrared background from unresolved high-z galaxies and ionized bubbles at z>7, taking into account the large scale structure as well as inhomogeneous distribution of ionized (HII) bubbles around sources. We shall use both analytical calculations (Fernandez & Komatsu 2006) and numerical simulations (Iliev et al. 2006) for completing this task. In particular we will be the first to use high-fidelity large-scale simulations of the cosmic reionization to calculate fluctuations in the cosmic near infrared background. The results from our research will be made publicly available in the form of simulated maps of the near infrared background as well as the angular power spectrum computed from the simulated maps. Our products should be immediately useful for interpreting the power spectrum of significant fluctuations (Kashlinsky et al. 2007; Cooray et al. 2007) detected in the Spitzer data from the GOODS Spitzer Legacy Program. The data from other Spitzer Legacy Programs, such as S-COSMOS, which do wide-field deep imaging surveys in the near infrared bands, should also benefit from our products.
