1 Introduction

Astrophysical observations provide strong evidence for theexistence of dark matter (DM) [1] and its abundance in thecurrent phase of the Universe [2] According to the newestresults fromPlanck collaboration there is 74 approximatelyofmatterwhich is not directly visible but is observed due to itsgravitational effects on visiblematter Additional evidence forthe existence of DM comes from study of the rotation curvesof spiral galaxies [3] the analysis of the bullet cluster [4] andthe study of baryon acoustic oscillations [5] One of the mostcommon hypotheses used to explain these phenomena is topostulate the existence of weakly interactingmassive particles(WIMPs) [6]

In order to explain DM we study a simple extension ofthe Standard Model (SM) called the Inert Higgs DoubletModel (IHDM) This model which was originally proposedfor studies on electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking [7]introduces an additional doublet and a discrete symmetryThese two characteristics of the model modify the SMphenomenology but there are some regions of the parameterspace which predict only small deviations from the SMNevertheless one of the most attractive characteristics of theIHDM is the presence of a stable neutral particle which canbe a DM candidate

In this work the IHDM is revisited considering variousrestrictions focusing our analysis on the zones of the param-eter space which reproduce the correct DM relic density

according to the newest measurements [8 9] In this contextthree not connected mass regimes for the lightest inertparticle are foundThese regimes are also analyzed using LHCobservables like branching ratios to invisible particles anda specific SM-like Higgs boson decay mode Additionallywe study some inert decays modes Finally we use a directdetection approach to rule out one of the mass regimes Itis further shown that this regime can also be ruled out byconstraints from collider physics [10]

This paper is organized as follows After a short intro-duction in Section 1 the model is introduced in Section 2 byformulating the associated potential and constraints of themodel and by exploring the parameter space and its charac-teristics in Section 3 In Section 4 the behavior of the modelis presented from a collider physics perspective studying themodifications of the SM and its implications for the IHDMIn Section 5 the results of this study are complemented byan analysis from the dark matter perspective Finally inSection 6 we remark on the most important conclusions ofour work

3 IHDM Parameter Space

We randomly scan the parameter space of the IHDM takinginto account all the constraints mentioned in the previoussection Additionally we compute some astrophysical prop-erties of the model using the micrOMEGAs software [28]We consider masses satisfying 1 GeV lt 119898

119894lt 1 TeV where

119894 = 119867119860119863 In addition we consider cosmological mea-surements the DM relic density ΩDMℎ

2 is a property relatedto its abundance in the current phase of the Universe Thisquantity is well measured by WMAP [29] and Planck [30]experiments Following [31] to combine both measurementswe obtain

another one for medium 119898119867(60 lt 119898

finally one for high values of 119898119867

(119898119867

119867lt 3GeV the IHDM can

no longer be compatible with vacuum existence and stability[33 34]

In Figure 2 we have for the same scan and color code themass of the heavy pseudoscalar 119898

119860(a) and the mass of the

charged Higgs 119898119863(b) as a function of the mass of the DM

candidate 119898119867 Due to dedicated pre-LHC collider searches

a bound that captures most of the features is 119898119860gt 100GeV

and 119898119863gt 70GeV This is so with the exception of a small

strip for119898119860lt 100GeV seen in Figure 2(a) where due to the

proximity of the119867 and 119860masses the search loses sensitivityIn this figure the gap in values of 119898

119867when the relic density

is imposed is apparent Notice that the density of solutions islarger when themasses for119867119860 and119863 are close to each otherand that this feature is more pronounced when the masses ofthese particles are near the TeV scale (due to the logarithmicscale) Finally we notice that ΩDMℎ

2 is more sensitive to theparameters 120582

345and 119898

119867(Figure 1) than the masses of the

other inert particles (Figure 2)

4 Collider Physics

As we mentioned before the Higgs boson discovered atCERN in 2012 is the SM-like Higgs boson ℎ of our modelfrom the non-Inert Higgs Doublet field Φ

119878 This particle ℎ

couples to the charged Higgs pair (119863plusmn) which contributesto the diphoton decay width (in this minimal scenario theIHDM cannot account for the reported excess of diphoton

events by ATLAS [35] and CMS [36] collaborations in theirRun-II 13 TeV analyses because the Z

2symmetry prevents

the extra Higgs bosons of the model from decaying into justtwo photons) Γ(ℎ rarr 120574120574) [37] For the same reason 119863plusmn alsocontribute to Γ(ℎ rarr 119885120574)

It is convenient to work with the parameter [21 33 38]

The value we use for the SM is Γ(ℎSM rarr 120574120574) = 41MeV [39]ATLAS [40] and CMS [41] collaborations have studied thisdecay mode and if we combined both results [31] we obtain119877exp120574120574

= 114 plusmn 018In Figure 3 we have the parameter 119877

120574120574as a function of

the DM candidate mass 119898119867

(a) and as a function of thecoupling 120582

345(b)The points in parameter space that produce

a correct relic density can be divided into three groups Inthe case of very light masses for the DM candidate (3 lt

119898119867

lt 50GeV approximately) the decay mode ℎ rarr 119867119867

is open and 119877120574120574

is close to zero ruling those masses out[42] In the intermediate mass case approximately between60 and 100GeV there is a region with acceptable solutionscharacterized by 119877

120574120574asymp 1 This region is characterized by

increasingly heavier values for 119860 and 119863plusmn In the large massregion (119898

119867gt 550GeV approximately) the charged Higgs

119863plusmn gives a negligible contribution to the decay ℎ rarr 120574120574 such

that 119877120574120574is close to unity Interestingly Figure 3(b) shows that

perturbative values (|120582345| lt 1) are preferred

In addition if the inert particles are light enough thereare two other two-body decays which are

It is possible to define the parameter 119877119885120574 in analogy to 119877

120574120574and 119877

119885120574 which is a

common feature for 119877120574120574

versus 119877119885120574

plots [17 18 45] Thebisector branch only contains points that satisfy 119898

(inert invisible decay channel open) Points of parameterspace which satisfy the relic density and have low DMcandidate mass are ruled out because they produce a verysmall value for 119877

120574120574 By analyzing the characteristics of those

data points one finds that the larger branch includes onlypoints with 119898

Figure 6 we have the branching ratios for the pseudoscalarHiggs boson (a) as a function of its mass and the branchingratios for the charged Higgs boson (b) as a function of itsmass In (a) we show the decays of the inert pseudoscalarHiggs 119860 which are 119860 rarr 119867119885 (solid line) and 119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓

(dashed line) As can be seen from the Feynman rules theonly unknown parameters the branching ratios depend onare the masses 119898

119867 119898119860 and 119898

119863 Therefore four scenarios

are considered (i) (119898119867 119898119863) = (60 70) (ii) (450 500) (iii)

(50 600) and (iv) (500 800)GeV The gauge boson can beoff shell although we consider the inert Higgs bosons alwayson shell The oscillation near the threshold is due to differentincreasing rates for the decay rates when the gauge boson isoff shell The branching ratio 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) is always large(because 119898

119867lt 119898119863) while 119861(119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓) can be low near

thresholds There is a crossing point where 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) =

119861(119860 rarr 119863plusmn119882∓) In (b) we show the decays of the charged

Higgs119863plusmn Analogous scenarios are considered but replacing119898119863by 119898119860 In solid line we have the branching ratio for the

decay 119863plusmn rarr 119867119882plusmn and in dash we have 119863plusmn rarr 119860119882

plusmn In thecase of 119863plusmn there is no crossing point thus 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn)

is always larger than 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119860119882plusmn) We remind the reader

that the presence of a Higgs boson119867 in a final state is seen asmissing momentum at the LHC

5 Cosmology and Dark Matter

The existence of darkmatter seems to be well established now[49] There are several candidates for DM among them arethe previously mentionedWIMPs A good particle candidatefor DM must be neutral and stable (or quasi-stable) TheZ2discrete symmetry in the model studied in this paper

ensures that the lightest of the inert Higgs bosons is stableObservation implies it is either 119867 or 119860 (or in a fine tunedscenario both) In this paper we study the former case Animportant restriction this candidate must satisfy is that itsmass density must agree with experimental observationsWe calculate the relic density of our DM candidate usingmicrOMEGAs software [28] To better understand the resultson the relic density we calculate also the thermal averagedannihilation cross section times the relative velocity ⟨120590V⟩ orannihilation cross section for short

In Figure 7 we plot the 119867 relic density as a function ofthe DM candidate mass 119898

119867(a) and the annihilation cross

section also as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898119867(b)

calculated with [28] For the relic density case we also showas an horizontal dashed line the experimentally measuredvalue for ΩDMℎ

2 as given in (9) The scan shows a largedistribution with differences that can reach more than 10orders of magnitude For this reason most of the points inthe scan are ruled out if one demands that 119867 is actuallythe only WIMP responsible for the observed DM signaturesThere are two mass gaps that divide the mass region in threelow mass (3 lt 119898

119867lt 50GeV approximately) medium

mass (60 lt 119898119867

lt 100GeV approximately) and highmass (550 lt 119898

119867approximately) The origin of these mass

gaps is better understood with the aid of the right frame Inthe right frame of Figure 7 we show the annihilation crosssection as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898

119867 with

vertical lines denoting different thresholds The first gap isnear the threshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎ2 where the annihilation

channel 119867119867 rarr ℎ becomes very efficient due to the factthat the SM-like Higgs ℎ is on-shell The second gap startsat the thresholds 119898

119867asymp 119898119882

and 119898119867asymp 119898119885 where 119867119867 rarr

119882119882(119885119885) become available and continues later with thethreshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎwhere the channel 119867119867 rarr ℎℎ opens

up The annihilation channel 119867119867 rarr 119905119905 also helps Allthese new annihilation channels make the DM annihilationvery efficient and it is not possible to obtain a relic densityaccording to observations On the other hand for larger119898

119867

it is possible to get a correct relic density if the differencebetween the three inert scalar masses is not so large and 120582

345

remains small enough [50] (see Figure 1)We finally study the direct detection prospects of our

DM candidate We do that through the tree-level spin-independent DM-nucleon interaction cross section [51]which applied to our case

6 Conclusions

In this paper the Inert Higgs Doublet Model is studied withthe inert Higgs boson 119867 as a DM candidate using the latest

results for DM relic density annihilation cross section andcollider searches As a summary we highlight the following

(i) The branching ratios for the charged Higgs 119863plusmn andfor the pseudoscalar Higgs 119860 are studied and shownin Figure 6 The Z

2symmetry strongly reduces the

number of different decay channels Considering theHiggs boson on shell and allowing the gauge boson tobe off shell (a different choice would produce differentdecay channels but with smaller branching ratios)we find that 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn) gt 119861(119863

plusmnrarr 119860119882

plusmn) as

opposed to the 119860 decays where there is a crossingpoint not far from the threshold For this reason incollider searches we recommend to look for a signalfor a 119863plusmn two jets (consistent with a119882) and missingenergy (from the DM candidate119867)

(ii) Three distinct 119867 mass regions are found that pro-duced the correct relic density (ie 119867 is the onlysource for DM) as can be seen in Figure 7 The lowmass region (between 3 and 50GeV approximately)is already ruled out because it produces a very smallvalue for 119877

120574120574(Figure 3) because it produces a very

high value for 119861(ℎ rarr 119867119867) (Figure 5) and becauseof direct DM searches (Figure 8) The intermediatemass region (between 60 and 100GeV approximately)and the high mass region (heavier than 550GeVapproximately) are allowed

(iii) In Figure 8 we study the DM candidate direct detec-tion The low mass region is also ruled out by presentexperiments In addition future experiments willprobe intermediate and high mass regions Neverthe-less in absence of signals it will not be possible torule out these two regions Notice the proximity of

the region where the coherent neutrino scattering isan irreducible background

With this one sees that the Inert Higgs Doublet Model gives astill viable DM candidate which will most likely be tested bydirect DM detection experiments

3 IHDM Parameter Space

We randomly scan the parameter space of the IHDM takinginto account all the constraints mentioned in the previoussection Additionally we compute some astrophysical prop-erties of the model using the micrOMEGAs software [28]We consider masses satisfying 1 GeV lt 119898

119894lt 1 TeV where

119894 = 119867119860119863 In addition we consider cosmological mea-surements the DM relic density ΩDMℎ

2 is a property relatedto its abundance in the current phase of the Universe Thisquantity is well measured by WMAP [29] and Planck [30]experiments Following [31] to combine both measurementswe obtain

ΩDMℎ2= 01181 plusmn 00012 (9)

119867lt 50GeV)

another one for medium 119898119867(60 lt 119898

119867lt 100GeV) and

finally one for high values of 119898119867

(119898119867

gt 550GeV) Theexplanation for the gap is related to annihilation processesand it will be given later At 119898

119867lt 3GeV the IHDM can

no longer be compatible with vacuum existence and stability[33 34]

In Figure 2 we have for the same scan and color code themass of the heavy pseudoscalar 119898

119860(a) and the mass of the

charged Higgs 119898119863(b) as a function of the mass of the DM

candidate 119898119867 Due to dedicated pre-LHC collider searches

a bound that captures most of the features is 119898119860gt 100GeV

and 119898119863gt 70GeV This is so with the exception of a small

strip for119898119860lt 100GeV seen in Figure 2(a) where due to the

proximity of the119867 and 119860masses the search loses sensitivityIn this figure the gap in values of 119898

119867when the relic density

is imposed is apparent Notice that the density of solutions islarger when themasses for119867119860 and119863 are close to each otherand that this feature is more pronounced when the masses ofthese particles are near the TeV scale (due to the logarithmicscale) Finally we notice that ΩDMℎ

2 is more sensitive to theparameters 120582

345and 119898

119867(Figure 1) than the masses of the

other inert particles (Figure 2)

4 Collider Physics

As we mentioned before the Higgs boson discovered atCERN in 2012 is the SM-like Higgs boson ℎ of our modelfrom the non-Inert Higgs Doublet field Φ

119878 This particle ℎ

couples to the charged Higgs pair (119863plusmn) which contributesto the diphoton decay width (in this minimal scenario theIHDM cannot account for the reported excess of diphoton

events by ATLAS [35] and CMS [36] collaborations in theirRun-II 13 TeV analyses because the Z

2symmetry prevents

the extra Higgs bosons of the model from decaying into justtwo photons) Γ(ℎ rarr 120574120574) [37] For the same reason 119863plusmn alsocontribute to Γ(ℎ rarr 119885120574)

It is convenient to work with the parameter [21 33 38]

IHDM

The value we use for the SM is Γ(ℎSM rarr 120574120574) = 41MeV [39]ATLAS [40] and CMS [41] collaborations have studied thisdecay mode and if we combined both results [31] we obtain119877exp120574120574

= 114 plusmn 018In Figure 3 we have the parameter 119877

120574120574as a function of

the DM candidate mass 119898119867

(a) and as a function of thecoupling 120582

345(b)The points in parameter space that produce

a correct relic density can be divided into three groups Inthe case of very light masses for the DM candidate (3 lt

119898119867

lt 50GeV approximately) the decay mode ℎ rarr 119867119867

is open and 119877120574120574

is close to zero ruling those masses out[42] In the intermediate mass case approximately between60 and 100GeV there is a region with acceptable solutionscharacterized by 119877

120574120574asymp 1 This region is characterized by

increasingly heavier values for 119860 and 119863plusmn In the large massregion (119898

119867gt 550GeV approximately) the charged Higgs

119863plusmn gives a negligible contribution to the decay ℎ rarr 120574120574 such

that 119877120574120574is close to unity Interestingly Figure 3(b) shows that

perturbative values (|120582345| lt 1) are preferred

In addition if the inert particles are light enough thereare two other two-body decays which are

There is no phase space for a two-body decay ℎ rarr 119863plusmn119863∓

It is possible to define the parameter 119877119885120574 in analogy to 119877

120574120574

defined in (10) It is interesting that even though the decayℎ rarr 119885120574 is not well measured it still can give additionalinsight to themodel [43 44] As Figure 4 shows there appearsa very narrow correlation between 119877

120574120574and 119877

119885120574 which is a

common feature for 119877120574120574

versus 119877119885120574

plots [17 18 45] Thebisector branch only contains points that satisfy 119898

119867lt 119898ℎ2

(inert invisible decay channel open) Points of parameterspace which satisfy the relic density and have low DMcandidate mass are ruled out because they produce a verysmall value for 119877

120574120574 By analyzing the characteristics of those

data points one finds that the larger branch includes onlypoints with 119898

119867gt 119898ℎ2 and the ones that also satisfy relic

density are close to 119877120574120574= 119877119885120574

appear in the nonnormalized 119861(ℎ rarr 120574120574) versus 119861(ℎ rarr 119885120574)

We are also interested in the invisible decay of the SM-likeHiggs boson If the DM candidate mass satisfies119898

119867lt 119898ℎ2

the two-body decay channel ℎ rarr 119867119867 is open which isinvisible for the LHC detectors and shows only as missingmomentum There are measurements for the invisible decayof the SM-like Higgs from the LHC experiments Taking a

simple average of the upper bounds to the invisible decay ratefrom ATLAS [47] and CMS [48] gives 119861(ℎ rarr inv) lt 043 forthe SM-like Higgs boson In Figure 5 we show the branchingratio for the invisible decay of the SM-likeHiggs boson119861(ℎ rarr119867119867) as a function of the mass of the DM candidate 119898

for the two observable inert Higgs bosons 119860 and 119863plusmn In

Figure 6 we have the branching ratios for the pseudoscalarHiggs boson (a) as a function of its mass and the branchingratios for the charged Higgs boson (b) as a function of itsmass In (a) we show the decays of the inert pseudoscalarHiggs 119860 which are 119860 rarr 119867119885 (solid line) and 119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓

(dashed line) As can be seen from the Feynman rules theonly unknown parameters the branching ratios depend onare the masses 119898

119867 119898119860 and 119898

119863 Therefore four scenarios

are considered (i) (119898119867 119898119863) = (60 70) (ii) (450 500) (iii)

(50 600) and (iv) (500 800)GeV The gauge boson can beoff shell although we consider the inert Higgs bosons alwayson shell The oscillation near the threshold is due to differentincreasing rates for the decay rates when the gauge boson isoff shell The branching ratio 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) is always large(because 119898

119867lt 119898119863) while 119861(119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓) can be low near

thresholds There is a crossing point where 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) =

119861(119860 rarr 119863plusmn119882∓) In (b) we show the decays of the charged

Higgs119863plusmn Analogous scenarios are considered but replacing119898119863by 119898119860 In solid line we have the branching ratio for the

decay 119863plusmn rarr 119867119882plusmn and in dash we have 119863plusmn rarr 119860119882

plusmn In thecase of 119863plusmn there is no crossing point thus 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn)

is always larger than 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119860119882plusmn) We remind the reader

that the presence of a Higgs boson119867 in a final state is seen asmissing momentum at the LHC

5 Cosmology and Dark Matter

The existence of darkmatter seems to be well established now[49] There are several candidates for DM among them arethe previously mentionedWIMPs A good particle candidatefor DM must be neutral and stable (or quasi-stable) TheZ2discrete symmetry in the model studied in this paper

ensures that the lightest of the inert Higgs bosons is stableObservation implies it is either 119867 or 119860 (or in a fine tunedscenario both) In this paper we study the former case Animportant restriction this candidate must satisfy is that itsmass density must agree with experimental observationsWe calculate the relic density of our DM candidate usingmicrOMEGAs software [28] To better understand the resultson the relic density we calculate also the thermal averagedannihilation cross section times the relative velocity ⟨120590V⟩ orannihilation cross section for short

In Figure 7 we plot the 119867 relic density as a function ofthe DM candidate mass 119898

119867(a) and the annihilation cross

section also as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898119867(b)

calculated with [28] For the relic density case we also showas an horizontal dashed line the experimentally measuredvalue for ΩDMℎ

2 as given in (9) The scan shows a largedistribution with differences that can reach more than 10orders of magnitude For this reason most of the points inthe scan are ruled out if one demands that 119867 is actuallythe only WIMP responsible for the observed DM signaturesThere are two mass gaps that divide the mass region in threelow mass (3 lt 119898

119867lt 50GeV approximately) medium

mass (60 lt 119898119867

lt 100GeV approximately) and highmass (550 lt 119898

119867approximately) The origin of these mass

gaps is better understood with the aid of the right frame Inthe right frame of Figure 7 we show the annihilation crosssection as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898

119867 with

vertical lines denoting different thresholds The first gap isnear the threshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎ2 where the annihilation

channel 119867119867 rarr ℎ becomes very efficient due to the factthat the SM-like Higgs ℎ is on-shell The second gap startsat the thresholds 119898

119867asymp 119898119882

and 119898119867asymp 119898119885 where 119867119867 rarr

119882119882(119885119885) become available and continues later with thethreshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎwhere the channel 119867119867 rarr ℎℎ opens

up The annihilation channel 119867119867 rarr 119905119905 also helps Allthese new annihilation channels make the DM annihilationvery efficient and it is not possible to obtain a relic densityaccording to observations On the other hand for larger119898

119867

it is possible to get a correct relic density if the differencebetween the three inert scalar masses is not so large and 120582

345

remains small enough [50] (see Figure 1)We finally study the direct detection prospects of our

DM candidate We do that through the tree-level spin-independent DM-nucleon interaction cross section [51]which applied to our case

6 Conclusions

In this paper the Inert Higgs Doublet Model is studied withthe inert Higgs boson 119867 as a DM candidate using the latest

results for DM relic density annihilation cross section andcollider searches As a summary we highlight the following

(i) The branching ratios for the charged Higgs 119863plusmn andfor the pseudoscalar Higgs 119860 are studied and shownin Figure 6 The Z

2symmetry strongly reduces the

number of different decay channels Considering theHiggs boson on shell and allowing the gauge boson tobe off shell (a different choice would produce differentdecay channels but with smaller branching ratios)we find that 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn) gt 119861(119863

plusmnrarr 119860119882

plusmn) as

opposed to the 119860 decays where there is a crossingpoint not far from the threshold For this reason incollider searches we recommend to look for a signalfor a 119863plusmn two jets (consistent with a119882) and missingenergy (from the DM candidate119867)

(ii) Three distinct 119867 mass regions are found that pro-duced the correct relic density (ie 119867 is the onlysource for DM) as can be seen in Figure 7 The lowmass region (between 3 and 50GeV approximately)is already ruled out because it produces a very smallvalue for 119877

120574120574(Figure 3) because it produces a very

high value for 119861(ℎ rarr 119867119867) (Figure 5) and becauseof direct DM searches (Figure 8) The intermediatemass region (between 60 and 100GeV approximately)and the high mass region (heavier than 550GeVapproximately) are allowed

(iii) In Figure 8 we study the DM candidate direct detec-tion The low mass region is also ruled out by presentexperiments In addition future experiments willprobe intermediate and high mass regions Neverthe-less in absence of signals it will not be possible torule out these two regions Notice the proximity of

the region where the coherent neutrino scattering isan irreducible background

With this one sees that the Inert Higgs Doublet Model gives astill viable DM candidate which will most likely be tested bydirect DM detection experiments

another one for medium 119898119867(60 lt 119898

119867lt 100GeV) and

finally one for high values of 119898119867

(119898119867

no longer be compatible with vacuum existence and stability[33 34]

119860(a) and the mass of the

charged Higgs 119898119863(b) as a function of the mass of the DM

a bound that captures most of the features is 119898119860gt 100GeV

and 119898119863gt 70GeV This is so with the exception of a small

strip for119898119860lt 100GeV seen in Figure 2(a) where due to the

proximity of the119867 and 119860masses the search loses sensitivityIn this figure the gap in values of 119898

119867when the relic density

is imposed is apparent Notice that the density of solutions islarger when themasses for119867119860 and119863 are close to each otherand that this feature is more pronounced when the masses ofthese particles are near the TeV scale (due to the logarithmicscale) Finally we notice that ΩDMℎ

4 Collider Physics

As we mentioned before the Higgs boson discovered atCERN in 2012 is the SM-like Higgs boson ℎ of our modelfrom the non-Inert Higgs Doublet field Φ

119878 This particle ℎ

couples to the charged Higgs pair (119863plusmn) which contributesto the diphoton decay width (in this minimal scenario theIHDM cannot account for the reported excess of diphoton

events by ATLAS [35] and CMS [36] collaborations in theirRun-II 13 TeV analyses because the Z

2symmetry prevents

the extra Higgs bosons of the model from decaying into justtwo photons) Γ(ℎ rarr 120574120574) [37] For the same reason 119863plusmn alsocontribute to Γ(ℎ rarr 119885120574)

It is convenient to work with the parameter [21 33 38]

is open and 119877120574120574

is close to zero ruling those masses out[42] In the intermediate mass case approximately between60 and 100GeV there is a region with acceptable solutionscharacterized by 119877

increasingly heavier values for 119860 and 119863plusmn In the large massregion (119898

119863plusmn gives a negligible contribution to the decay ℎ rarr 120574120574 such

that 119877120574120574is close to unity Interestingly Figure 3(b) shows that

perturbative values (|120582345| lt 1) are preferred

Figure 6 we have the branching ratios for the pseudoscalarHiggs boson (a) as a function of its mass and the branchingratios for the charged Higgs boson (b) as a function of itsmass In (a) we show the decays of the inert pseudoscalarHiggs 119860 which are 119860 rarr 119867119885 (solid line) and 119860 rarr 119863

(dashed line) As can be seen from the Feynman rules theonly unknown parameters the branching ratios depend onare the masses 119898

119867 119898119860 and 119898

119863 Therefore four scenarios

are considered (i) (119898119867 119898119863) = (60 70) (ii) (450 500) (iii)

(50 600) and (iv) (500 800)GeV The gauge boson can beoff shell although we consider the inert Higgs bosons alwayson shell The oscillation near the threshold is due to differentincreasing rates for the decay rates when the gauge boson isoff shell The branching ratio 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) is always large(because 119898

119867lt 119898119863) while 119861(119860 rarr 119863

plusmn In thecase of 119863plusmn there is no crossing point thus 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn)

is always larger than 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119860119882plusmn) We remind the reader

that the presence of a Higgs boson119867 in a final state is seen asmissing momentum at the LHC

5 Cosmology and Dark Matter

The existence of darkmatter seems to be well established now[49] There are several candidates for DM among them arethe previously mentionedWIMPs A good particle candidatefor DM must be neutral and stable (or quasi-stable) TheZ2discrete symmetry in the model studied in this paper

ensures that the lightest of the inert Higgs bosons is stableObservation implies it is either 119867 or 119860 (or in a fine tunedscenario both) In this paper we study the former case Animportant restriction this candidate must satisfy is that itsmass density must agree with experimental observationsWe calculate the relic density of our DM candidate usingmicrOMEGAs software [28] To better understand the resultson the relic density we calculate also the thermal averagedannihilation cross section times the relative velocity ⟨120590V⟩ orannihilation cross section for short

In Figure 7 we plot the 119867 relic density as a function ofthe DM candidate mass 119898

119867(a) and the annihilation cross

section also as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898119867(b)

calculated with [28] For the relic density case we also showas an horizontal dashed line the experimentally measuredvalue for ΩDMℎ

2 as given in (9) The scan shows a largedistribution with differences that can reach more than 10orders of magnitude For this reason most of the points inthe scan are ruled out if one demands that 119867 is actuallythe only WIMP responsible for the observed DM signaturesThere are two mass gaps that divide the mass region in threelow mass (3 lt 119898

119867lt 50GeV approximately) medium

mass (60 lt 119898119867

lt 100GeV approximately) and highmass (550 lt 119898

119867approximately) The origin of these mass

gaps is better understood with the aid of the right frame Inthe right frame of Figure 7 we show the annihilation crosssection as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898

119867 with

vertical lines denoting different thresholds The first gap isnear the threshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎ2 where the annihilation

channel 119867119867 rarr ℎ becomes very efficient due to the factthat the SM-like Higgs ℎ is on-shell The second gap startsat the thresholds 119898

119867asymp 119898119882

and 119898119867asymp 119898119885 where 119867119867 rarr

119882119882(119885119885) become available and continues later with thethreshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎwhere the channel 119867119867 rarr ℎℎ opens

up The annihilation channel 119867119867 rarr 119905119905 also helps Allthese new annihilation channels make the DM annihilationvery efficient and it is not possible to obtain a relic densityaccording to observations On the other hand for larger119898

119867

it is possible to get a correct relic density if the differencebetween the three inert scalar masses is not so large and 120582

345

remains small enough [50] (see Figure 1)We finally study the direct detection prospects of our

DM candidate We do that through the tree-level spin-independent DM-nucleon interaction cross section [51]which applied to our case

6 Conclusions

In this paper the Inert Higgs Doublet Model is studied withthe inert Higgs boson 119867 as a DM candidate using the latest

results for DM relic density annihilation cross section andcollider searches As a summary we highlight the following

(i) The branching ratios for the charged Higgs 119863plusmn andfor the pseudoscalar Higgs 119860 are studied and shownin Figure 6 The Z

2symmetry strongly reduces the

number of different decay channels Considering theHiggs boson on shell and allowing the gauge boson tobe off shell (a different choice would produce differentdecay channels but with smaller branching ratios)we find that 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn) gt 119861(119863

plusmnrarr 119860119882

plusmn) as

opposed to the 119860 decays where there is a crossingpoint not far from the threshold For this reason incollider searches we recommend to look for a signalfor a 119863plusmn two jets (consistent with a119882) and missingenergy (from the DM candidate119867)

(ii) Three distinct 119867 mass regions are found that pro-duced the correct relic density (ie 119867 is the onlysource for DM) as can be seen in Figure 7 The lowmass region (between 3 and 50GeV approximately)is already ruled out because it produces a very smallvalue for 119877

120574120574(Figure 3) because it produces a very

high value for 119861(ℎ rarr 119867119867) (Figure 5) and becauseof direct DM searches (Figure 8) The intermediatemass region (between 60 and 100GeV approximately)and the high mass region (heavier than 550GeVapproximately) are allowed

(iii) In Figure 8 we study the DM candidate direct detec-tion The low mass region is also ruled out by presentexperiments In addition future experiments willprobe intermediate and high mass regions Neverthe-less in absence of signals it will not be possible torule out these two regions Notice the proximity of

8 Advances in High Energy Physics

the region where the coherent neutrino scattering isan irreducible background

With this one sees that the Inert Higgs Doublet Model gives astill viable DM candidate which will most likely be tested bydirect DM detection experiments

the two-body decay channel ℎ rarr 119867119867 is open which isinvisible for the LHC detectors and shows only as missingmomentum There are measurements for the invisible decayof the SM-like Higgs from the LHC experiments Taking a

120574120574 The rest of the points satisfy

the boundsTo finalize this section we discuss the branching ratios

for the two observable inert Higgs bosons 119860 and 119863plusmn In

Figure 6 we have the branching ratios for the pseudoscalarHiggs boson (a) as a function of its mass and the branchingratios for the charged Higgs boson (b) as a function of itsmass In (a) we show the decays of the inert pseudoscalarHiggs 119860 which are 119860 rarr 119867119885 (solid line) and 119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓

(dashed line) As can be seen from the Feynman rules theonly unknown parameters the branching ratios depend onare the masses 119898

119867 119898119860 and 119898

119863 Therefore four scenarios

are considered (i) (119898119867 119898119863) = (60 70) (ii) (450 500) (iii)

(50 600) and (iv) (500 800)GeV The gauge boson can beoff shell although we consider the inert Higgs bosons alwayson shell The oscillation near the threshold is due to differentincreasing rates for the decay rates when the gauge boson isoff shell The branching ratio 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) is always large(because 119898

119867lt 119898119863) while 119861(119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓) can be low near

thresholds There is a crossing point where 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) =

119861(119860 rarr 119863plusmn119882∓) In (b) we show the decays of the charged

Higgs119863plusmn Analogous scenarios are considered but replacing119898119863by 119898119860 In solid line we have the branching ratio for the

decay 119863plusmn rarr 119867119882plusmn and in dash we have 119863plusmn rarr 119860119882

plusmn In thecase of 119863plusmn there is no crossing point thus 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn)

is always larger than 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119860119882plusmn) We remind the reader

that the presence of a Higgs boson119867 in a final state is seen asmissing momentum at the LHC

5 Cosmology and Dark Matter

The existence of darkmatter seems to be well established now[49] There are several candidates for DM among them arethe previously mentionedWIMPs A good particle candidatefor DM must be neutral and stable (or quasi-stable) TheZ2discrete symmetry in the model studied in this paper

ensures that the lightest of the inert Higgs bosons is stableObservation implies it is either 119867 or 119860 (or in a fine tunedscenario both) In this paper we study the former case Animportant restriction this candidate must satisfy is that itsmass density must agree with experimental observationsWe calculate the relic density of our DM candidate usingmicrOMEGAs software [28] To better understand the resultson the relic density we calculate also the thermal averagedannihilation cross section times the relative velocity ⟨120590V⟩ orannihilation cross section for short

In Figure 7 we plot the 119867 relic density as a function ofthe DM candidate mass 119898

119867(a) and the annihilation cross

section also as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898119867(b)

calculated with [28] For the relic density case we also showas an horizontal dashed line the experimentally measuredvalue for ΩDMℎ

2 as given in (9) The scan shows a largedistribution with differences that can reach more than 10orders of magnitude For this reason most of the points inthe scan are ruled out if one demands that 119867 is actuallythe only WIMP responsible for the observed DM signaturesThere are two mass gaps that divide the mass region in threelow mass (3 lt 119898

119867lt 50GeV approximately) medium

mass (60 lt 119898119867

lt 100GeV approximately) and highmass (550 lt 119898

119867approximately) The origin of these mass

gaps is better understood with the aid of the right frame Inthe right frame of Figure 7 we show the annihilation crosssection as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898

119867 with

vertical lines denoting different thresholds The first gap isnear the threshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎ2 where the annihilation

channel 119867119867 rarr ℎ becomes very efficient due to the factthat the SM-like Higgs ℎ is on-shell The second gap startsat the thresholds 119898

119867asymp 119898119882

and 119898119867asymp 119898119885 where 119867119867 rarr

119882119882(119885119885) become available and continues later with thethreshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎwhere the channel 119867119867 rarr ℎℎ opens

up The annihilation channel 119867119867 rarr 119905119905 also helps Allthese new annihilation channels make the DM annihilationvery efficient and it is not possible to obtain a relic densityaccording to observations On the other hand for larger119898

119867

it is possible to get a correct relic density if the differencebetween the three inert scalar masses is not so large and 120582

remains small enough [50] (see Figure 1)We finally study the direct detection prospects of our

DM candidate We do that through the tree-level spin-independent DM-nucleon interaction cross section [51]which applied to our case

number of different decay channels Considering theHiggs boson on shell and allowing the gauge boson tobe off shell (a different choice would produce differentdecay channels but with smaller branching ratios)we find that 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn) as

opposed to the 119860 decays where there is a crossingpoint not far from the threshold For this reason incollider searches we recommend to look for a signalfor a 119863plusmn two jets (consistent with a119882) and missingenergy (from the DM candidate119867)

(ii) Three distinct 119867 mass regions are found that pro-duced the correct relic density (ie 119867 is the onlysource for DM) as can be seen in Figure 7 The lowmass region (between 3 and 50GeV approximately)is already ruled out because it produces a very smallvalue for 119877

120574120574(Figure 3) because it produces a very

high value for 119861(ℎ rarr 119867119867) (Figure 5) and becauseof direct DM searches (Figure 8) The intermediatemass region (between 60 and 100GeV approximately)and the high mass region (heavier than 550GeVapproximately) are allowed

(iii) In Figure 8 we study the DM candidate direct detec-tion The low mass region is also ruled out by presentexperiments In addition future experiments willprobe intermediate and high mass regions Neverthe-less in absence of signals it will not be possible torule out these two regions Notice the proximity of

the region where the coherent neutrino scattering isan irreducible background

With this one sees that the Inert Higgs Doublet Model gives astill viable DM candidate which will most likely be tested bydirect DM detection experiments

120574120574The points that satisfy relic density with

120574120574 The rest of the points satisfy

the boundsTo finalize this section we discuss the branching ratios

for the two observable inert Higgs bosons 119860 and 119863plusmn In

Figure 6 we have the branching ratios for the pseudoscalarHiggs boson (a) as a function of its mass and the branchingratios for the charged Higgs boson (b) as a function of itsmass In (a) we show the decays of the inert pseudoscalarHiggs 119860 which are 119860 rarr 119867119885 (solid line) and 119860 rarr 119863

(dashed line) As can be seen from the Feynman rules theonly unknown parameters the branching ratios depend onare the masses 119898

119867 119898119860 and 119898

119863 Therefore four scenarios

are considered (i) (119898119867 119898119863) = (60 70) (ii) (450 500) (iii)

(50 600) and (iv) (500 800)GeV The gauge boson can beoff shell although we consider the inert Higgs bosons alwayson shell The oscillation near the threshold is due to differentincreasing rates for the decay rates when the gauge boson isoff shell The branching ratio 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) is always large(because 119898

119867lt 119898119863) while 119861(119860 rarr 119863

plusmn119882∓) can be low near

thresholds There is a crossing point where 119861(119860 rarr 119867119885) =

119861(119860 rarr 119863plusmn119882∓) In (b) we show the decays of the charged

Higgs119863plusmn Analogous scenarios are considered but replacing119898119863by 119898119860 In solid line we have the branching ratio for the

decay 119863plusmn rarr 119867119882plusmn and in dash we have 119863plusmn rarr 119860119882

plusmn In thecase of 119863plusmn there is no crossing point thus 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn)

is always larger than 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119860119882plusmn) We remind the reader

that the presence of a Higgs boson119867 in a final state is seen asmissing momentum at the LHC

5 Cosmology and Dark Matter

The existence of darkmatter seems to be well established now[49] There are several candidates for DM among them arethe previously mentionedWIMPs A good particle candidatefor DM must be neutral and stable (or quasi-stable) TheZ2discrete symmetry in the model studied in this paper

ensures that the lightest of the inert Higgs bosons is stableObservation implies it is either 119867 or 119860 (or in a fine tunedscenario both) In this paper we study the former case Animportant restriction this candidate must satisfy is that itsmass density must agree with experimental observationsWe calculate the relic density of our DM candidate usingmicrOMEGAs software [28] To better understand the resultson the relic density we calculate also the thermal averagedannihilation cross section times the relative velocity ⟨120590V⟩ orannihilation cross section for short

In Figure 7 we plot the 119867 relic density as a function ofthe DM candidate mass 119898

119867(a) and the annihilation cross

section also as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898119867(b)

calculated with [28] For the relic density case we also showas an horizontal dashed line the experimentally measuredvalue for ΩDMℎ

2 as given in (9) The scan shows a largedistribution with differences that can reach more than 10orders of magnitude For this reason most of the points inthe scan are ruled out if one demands that 119867 is actuallythe only WIMP responsible for the observed DM signaturesThere are two mass gaps that divide the mass region in threelow mass (3 lt 119898

119867lt 50GeV approximately) medium

mass (60 lt 119898119867

lt 100GeV approximately) and highmass (550 lt 119898

119867approximately) The origin of these mass

gaps is better understood with the aid of the right frame Inthe right frame of Figure 7 we show the annihilation crosssection as a function of the DM candidate mass 119898

119867 with

vertical lines denoting different thresholds The first gap isnear the threshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎ2 where the annihilation

channel 119867119867 rarr ℎ becomes very efficient due to the factthat the SM-like Higgs ℎ is on-shell The second gap startsat the thresholds 119898

119867asymp 119898119882

and 119898119867asymp 119898119885 where 119867119867 rarr

119882119882(119885119885) become available and continues later with thethreshold 119898

119867asymp 119898ℎwhere the channel 119867119867 rarr ℎℎ opens

up The annihilation channel 119867119867 rarr 119905119905 also helps Allthese new annihilation channels make the DM annihilationvery efficient and it is not possible to obtain a relic densityaccording to observations On the other hand for larger119898

119867

it is possible to get a correct relic density if the differencebetween the three inert scalar masses is not so large and 120582

345

remains small enough [50] (see Figure 1)We finally study the direct detection prospects of our

DM candidate We do that through the tree-level spin-independent DM-nucleon interaction cross section [51]which applied to our case

6 Conclusions

In this paper the Inert Higgs Doublet Model is studied withthe inert Higgs boson 119867 as a DM candidate using the latest

results for DM relic density annihilation cross section andcollider searches As a summary we highlight the following

(i) The branching ratios for the charged Higgs 119863plusmn andfor the pseudoscalar Higgs 119860 are studied and shownin Figure 6 The Z

2symmetry strongly reduces the

number of different decay channels Considering theHiggs boson on shell and allowing the gauge boson tobe off shell (a different choice would produce differentdecay channels but with smaller branching ratios)we find that 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn) gt 119861(119863

plusmnrarr 119860119882

plusmn) as

opposed to the 119860 decays where there is a crossingpoint not far from the threshold For this reason incollider searches we recommend to look for a signalfor a 119863plusmn two jets (consistent with a119882) and missingenergy (from the DM candidate119867)

(ii) Three distinct 119867 mass regions are found that pro-duced the correct relic density (ie 119867 is the onlysource for DM) as can be seen in Figure 7 The lowmass region (between 3 and 50GeV approximately)is already ruled out because it produces a very smallvalue for 119877

120574120574(Figure 3) because it produces a very

high value for 119861(ℎ rarr 119867119867) (Figure 5) and becauseof direct DM searches (Figure 8) The intermediatemass region (between 60 and 100GeV approximately)and the high mass region (heavier than 550GeVapproximately) are allowed

(iii) In Figure 8 we study the DM candidate direct detec-tion The low mass region is also ruled out by presentexperiments In addition future experiments willprobe intermediate and high mass regions Neverthe-less in absence of signals it will not be possible torule out these two regions Notice the proximity of

the region where the coherent neutrino scattering isan irreducible background

With this one sees that the Inert Higgs Doublet Model gives astill viable DM candidate which will most likely be tested bydirect DM detection experiments

bounds for past experiments and prospects of measurements forfuture experiments are shown

this plot is due to the fact that the plotted points are onlythose that give the right dark matter density (ldquoblue pointsrdquo)Future experiments will be able to test large parts of these tworegions but will not be able to rule them out entirely if thereis no signal

6 Conclusions

In this paper the Inert Higgs Doublet Model is studied withthe inert Higgs boson 119867 as a DM candidate using the latest

results for DM relic density annihilation cross section andcollider searches As a summary we highlight the following

(i) The branching ratios for the charged Higgs 119863plusmn andfor the pseudoscalar Higgs 119860 are studied and shownin Figure 6 The Z

2symmetry strongly reduces the

number of different decay channels Considering theHiggs boson on shell and allowing the gauge boson tobe off shell (a different choice would produce differentdecay channels but with smaller branching ratios)we find that 119861(119863plusmn rarr 119867119882

plusmn) gt 119861(119863

plusmnrarr 119860119882

plusmn) as

opposed to the 119860 decays where there is a crossingpoint not far from the threshold For this reason incollider searches we recommend to look for a signalfor a 119863plusmn two jets (consistent with a119882) and missingenergy (from the DM candidate119867)

(ii) Three distinct 119867 mass regions are found that pro-duced the correct relic density (ie 119867 is the onlysource for DM) as can be seen in Figure 7 The lowmass region (between 3 and 50GeV approximately)is already ruled out because it produces a very smallvalue for 119877

120574120574(Figure 3) because it produces a very

high value for 119861(ℎ rarr 119867119867) (Figure 5) and becauseof direct DM searches (Figure 8) The intermediatemass region (between 60 and 100GeV approximately)and the high mass region (heavier than 550GeVapproximately) are allowed

(iii) In Figure 8 we study the DM candidate direct detec-tion The low mass region is also ruled out by presentexperiments In addition future experiments willprobe intermediate and high mass regions Neverthe-less in absence of signals it will not be possible torule out these two regions Notice the proximity of

the region where the coherent neutrino scattering isan irreducible background

With this one sees that the Inert Higgs Doublet Model gives astill viable DM candidate which will most likely be tested bydirect DM detection experiments
