MULTI-SINGLET AND SINGLET-TRIPLET SCALAR DARK MATTER

Abstract

We take the stealth model,1 an inert [Formula: see text] multiplet of real scalar singlets, as a candidate for dark matter. We limit the parameter space on the basis of dark matter abundance and direct search experiments. Further we study briefly a real scalar triplet as dark matter candidate. Then a two-component dark matter model is considered, which consists of a real scalar singlet and a scalar triplet with a Z2×Z2 symmetry. In a narrow mass range, the direct search experiments start to give some limitations.
