abstract
We consider the CMB constraints on reheating and dark matter parameter space for a specific plateau type inflationary model. The plateau inflationary models which are currently most favored models from data can be well approximated by a potential of the form $V(\phi)\propto \phi^n$ around $\phi=0$. This fact makes it possible to study the reheating phase with general inflaton equation of state in a viable cosmological scenario. In addition, following our recent work[1], we generalize the connection between reheating and the present CMB data and the dark matter parameter space for general inflaton equation of state parameter.

Constraining Nonthermal Dark Matter's Impact on the Matter Power Spectrum
