Abstract
Reionisation blurring is a non-linear correction to the cosmic microwave background that acts similar to weak gravitational lensing and that can be computed from linear perturbations through a blurring potential. Its impact on the cosmic microwave background is roughly two order of magnitude smaller than that of lensing, in isolation. But the blurring potential is strongly correlated with the lensing potential thereby generating a potentially observable cross-correlation. We compute for the first time the inclusive impact of reionisation blurring on the temperature angular power spectrum and discuss how much it could induce lensing anomalies
