Sumario:<!--HTML-->The weak gravitation lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) [1] rows a wealth of information about the late-time universe in the CMB data we observe through ground-based and space-based telescopes. In this talk, I propose a method to probe Galaxy-cluster mass profiles from the lensing signature of CMB in arcmin scales. In the first part, I describe how a theoretical halo model [2] for a cluster gives rise to lensing signatures in the observed CMB. In the second part, I discuss how we are developing a method based on Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator [3] of lensing potential to recover the cluster mass. Such an estimator will be influential in light of low noise level experiments like CMB S4. References [1] A. Lewis and A. Challinor, Weak gravitational lensing of the CMB, Phys.
