Abstract

It is shown that space-based gravitational wave detectors such as DECIGO and/or Big Bang Observer (BBO) will provide us with invaluable information on the cosmic thermal history after inflation and they will be able to determine the reheat temperature TRT_R provided that it lies in the range preferred by the cosmological gravitino problem, TR1059T_R\sim 10^{5-9} GeV. Therefore it is strongly desired that they will be put into practice as soon as possible.
