Abstract
We study the two Higgs doublet model with a complex singlet scalar whose imaginary part acts as dark matter (DM). The scattering of DM and quarks, mediated by three CP-even scalars in this model, is suppressed when masses of CP-even scalars are degenerate; that is called the ``degenerate scalar scenario''. Based on this scenario, we show that the strong first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) can be achieved without conflicting with constraints from the DM relic density and the direct detection experiments. We also discuss a shift of scalar trilinear coupling from the Standard Model prediction, which could be a test of this model in collider experiments.
