With current light-element abundances, hadronic decays of long-lived particles are excluded above a yield curve in lifetime, and for gravitinos this translates into reheating temperature upper limits as low as 5×10^5 GeV.

abstract
We investigate gravitino dark matter scenarios in which the primordial ^6Li production is catalyzed by bound-state formation of long-lived negatively charged particles X^- with ^4He. In the constrained minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) with the stau^- as the X^-, the observationally inferred bound on the primordial ^6Li abundance allows us to derive a rigid lower limit on the gaugino mass parameter for a standard cosmological history. This limit can have severe implications for supersymmetry searches at the Large Hadron Collider and for the reheating temperature after inflation.

Updated BBN Bounds on Hadronic Injection in the Early Universe: The Gravitino Problem
With current light-element abundances, hadronic decays of long-lived particles are excluded above a yield curve in lifetime, and for gravitinos this translates into reheating temperature upper limits as low as 5×10^5 GeV.
