The single Higgs doublet in the standard model (SM) may be the simplest way of introducing electroweak symmetry breaking, but SM extensions with more scalar doublets are not excluded. A special case of the two Higgs doublet models is the inert doublet model - a minimalistic version with interesting phenomenology. These proceedings reviews the inert doublet model's theoretical setup, constraints, collider prospects and its dark matter phenomenology.

The paper

Original abstract

The single Higgs doublet in the standard model (SM) may be the simplest way of introducing electroweak symmetry breaking, but SM extensions with more scalar doublets are not excluded. A special case of the two Higgs doublet models is the inert doublet model - a minimalistic version with interesting phenomenology. These proceedings reviews the inert doublet model's theoretical setup, constraints, collider prospects and its dark matter phenomenology.

Predictive Model for Radiatively Induced Neutrino Masses and Mixings with Dark Matter
hep-ph 2012-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

A minimal Standard Model extension with an unbroken Z2 symmetry generates neutrino masses at three loops and supplies an inert-doublet dark matter candidate, predicting normal hierarchy and a small nonzero theta13.
Particle Dark Matter Constraints: the Effect of Galactic Uncertainties

Galactic parameter and baryonic-morphology uncertainties shift the local dark matter density by up to a factor of 30, moving direct and indirect detection limits on Singlet Scalar and Inert Doublet dark matter by comp...
Exploring the Inert Doublet Model through the dijet plus missing transverse energy channel at the LHC
hep-ph 2016-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

The dijet plus missing energy channel at the LHC can probe Inert Doublet Model charged Higgs masses up to about 400 GeV with 3000 fb^-1, complementing leptonic channels that lose sensitivity at high mass.
Probing the Inert Doublet Dark Matter Model with Cherenkov Telescopes
hep-ph 2015-12 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilations of inert doublet dark matter above 1 TeV are already constrained by H.E.S.S. Galactic center data, mostly through the continuum photon spectrum rather than through gamma-ray lines.
Constraining Inert Dark Matter by R_{\gamma\gamma} and WMAP data
hep-ph 2013-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

Combining the Higgs diphoton rate with WMAP relic density excludes Inert Doublet Model dark matter below about 53 GeV and rules out the low-mass window entirely.

Dark matter in the Inert Doublet Model after the discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC
hep-ph 2013-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

With the Higgs mass fixed at 126 GeV, Inert Doublet Model dark matter survives only near the Higgs resonance, near the WW threshold, or above 500 GeV, and an enhanced h to gamma gamma rate is incompatible with saturat...
Status of the Inert Doublet Model and the Role of multileptons at the LHC
hep-ph 2012-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

Combining LHC Higgs limits with XENON and relic-density constraints rules out a 160-600 GeV Higgs in the Inert Doublet Model, and a four-lepton plus missing-energy channel at 14 TeV could reveal the surviving scenarios.
Inert Doublet Model in light of LHC Run I and astrophysical data

Combining LHC Run I, Planck relic-density, and LUX direct-detection limits on the Inert Doublet Model leaves dark scalars above about 45 GeV, nearly degenerate above 200 GeV, ordered MH± >= MA > MH, and yields benchma...
Diphoton rate in the Inert Doublet Model with a 125 GeV Higgs boson
hep-ph 2012-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

In the Inert Doublet Model with a 125 GeV Higgs, the diphoton rate can reach 3.4 times the Standard Model, but only with a charged scalar and dark matter particle below about 135 GeV and negative scalar couplings.
Constraints to Dark Matter from Inert Higgs Doublet Model
hep-ph 2015-11 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

The inert Higgs of the Inert Higgs Doublet Model can match the observed dark matter density only in three separated mass windows, and the lightest window is excluded by Higgs-decay and direct-detection data.

We therefore take the viewpoint that a light $H^0$ below 10 GeV is not a viable WIMP candidate within the current standard scenario [ref] .] We will, however, include low $H^0$ masses in parts of the following discussion for illustrative purposes, although they are excluded once we impose all our constraints.

At the same time, it has been shown that for high mass $H^0$ this inelastic scattering can be tuned to give a signal that fits the long standing/controversial DAMA/LIBRA [ref] signal when $Δ∼100$ keV and the $H^0$ mass is a few TeV [ref] .[Such a small mass splitting might be protected by the exact Peccei-Quinn symmetry emerging when $Δ=0$.] However, recent results presented by e.g. the CRESST [ref] and the XENON100 [ref] collaborations exclude this possibility.
