Abstract

Abstract We consider a dark matter model with a singlet scalar, $\chi$, as our dark matter (DM) candidate which is secluded from the Standard Model (SM) and annihilates to the singlet scalar, $\phi$, via a contact interaction. 
The singlet scalar, $\phi$, has a leptophilic interaction with the SM leptons 
and may decay leptonically at tree level, and decays into a pair of photons at loop level. 
The focus in this work is to consider DM masses below 10 GeV. 
It is found a viable secluded region in the parameter space after imposing the observed 
relic density. There is a one-loop interaction between scalar dark matter and the atomic electron in this model. We then apply the available direct detection bounds from Xenon10, Xenon1T, and DarkSide on the DM-electron elastic scattering cross section. While the model can explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment, we put bounds from current and future lepton collider experiments.
