Abstract: (arXiv)

We forecast the sensitivity of future correlations between CMB lensing and the Lyman-

\alpha

forest power spectrum. This squeezed-limit bispectrum probes the connection between the Lyman-

\alpha

transmission and the underlying large-scale matter density field. We recover the measured signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio obtained with Planck

\times

BOSS, and forecast a SNR of

10.3, 14.8

and

20.2

for DESI combined with ACT, SO and CMB-S4 respectively. For DESI and SO/CMB-S4, the correlation should be detectable at SNR

\ge 5

in 5 redshift bins, useful for distinguishing our signal from several contaminants.Indeed, our forecast is affected by large theoretical uncertainties in the current modeling of the signal and its contaminants, such as continuum misestimation bias or damped-Lyman-

\alpha

absorbers. Quantifying these more accurately will be crucial to enable a reliable cosmological interpretation of this observable in future measurements. We attempt to enumerate the features required in future Lyman-

\alpha

forest simulations required to do so.
