Reheating phase diagram for single-field slow-roll inflationary models

Abstract

We investigate the influence on the inflationary predictions from the reheating processes characterized by the $e$-folding number $N_{\mathrm{reh}}$ and the effective equation-of-state parameter $w_{\mathrm{reh}}$ during the reheating phase. For the first time, reheating processes can be constrained in the $N_{\mathrm{reh}}-w_{\mathrm{reh}}$ plane from Planck 2015. We find that for Higgs inflation with a nonminimal coupling to gravity, the predictions are insensitive to the reheating phase for current CMB measurements. We also find that the spontaneously broken SUSY inflation and axion monodromy inflation with ${\varphi }^{2/3}$ potential, which with instantaneous reheating lie outside or at the edge of the $95\%$ confidence region in the $n_s-r$ plane from Planck 2015 TT,TE,EE$+$lowP, can well fit the data with the help of reheating processes. Future CMB experiments would put strong constraints on reheating processes.
