The strong constraints on the allowed cosmic strings contribution to the measured temperature anisotropies impose limits on the free parameters of the inflationary models, namely the mass scales and the couplings.4 pages, 6 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the Rencontres de Moriond``Exploring the Universe: Contents and Structures of the Universe'', La Thuile, Italy, 28 March-4 April, 2004High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyAstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
