For both cases, we obtained two stacked images, F1 and F2, by it in case of AKARI s detection limit of point sources (mk = 19). We also examined the impact of masking on the fluctuation applying the same procedure as the one described previously in spectra, since 53% of all pixels are masked. We constructed this section. The fluctuation spectra of the difference between a common mask that includes all pixels masked in any of three twobe stacked images arealready, shown in Figure Cases A and must detected if it4. exists.

We again performed fluctuation spectra of the dark maps are shown by triangles. The imple.

16 Can we explain the AKARI measurement? IRTS 1) Origins should be born not before the reionizaiton. AKARI 2) Origins should have effective temperature around 4 K. 3) Origins should not be galaxies. Tsumura
17 Intergalactic Medium (IGM) and EBL IGM are heated up to 4 K. IGM are kept ionised ~98.3% of baryons are ionised (Fukugita & Peebles 04). most of baryons are not in galaxies but in IGM. Springel+ 05 IGM are inhomogeneously distributed. 17

20 Fraction of Warm-hot IGM and Cool IGM The fraction of shocked IGM (Warm-hot IGM; WHIM) increased due to the structure formation. Even at z=0, ~50% of baryons are in diffuse IGM or in halo whose temperature is ~ 4 K. Probe of missing baryons. Dave

NL effect will enhance the angular power spectrum at larger l (l~3000). 22
23 Summary VHE distant sources show unexpected spectral hardening. It is not straightforward to constrain EBL through gamma-ray observations. This hardening may come from propagation of cosmicrays, stochastically accelerated electrons, or other mechanisms. First stars can not explain the NIR EBL. IGM may explain the NIR EBL. 23
