abstract
We study a minimal model with an imposed $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry incorporating two singlet fermions and a singlet scalar which communicate with the SM particles through a scalar-Higgs portal. We probe regions in the parameter space where stability of the three new particles are guaranteed kinematically, and thus introducing a multi component dark matter (DM) scenario. The regions in the parameter space with predicted total relic density in accordance with the observed DM abundance are found, and the contribution of each species to the total relic density is determined. The elastic DM-nucleon scattering cross section of the two fermions DM are loop suppressed, while that of the scalar DM starts at tree level and thus presumably being dominant. It is found that there exist a viable region in the parameter space that the scalar DM can evade the current direct detection (DD) experimental bounds while it has a minimal contribution to the observed relic density. The DD cross section of the fermion DM being loop suppressed, resides below the lower limit from the {\it neutrino floor}, possessing a large fraction of the total relic density.

Topological solitons of two-field scalar theories in rotationally symmetric backgrounds
