Abstract

The singlet-doublet dark matter model offers a rich framework for exploring the nature of dark matter (DM) through its unique fermion structure. In this model, the important parameters are the singlet-doublet mass splitting ΔM\Delta{M}, the singlet-doublet mixing angle sinθ\sin\theta, and the DM mass MDMM_{\rm DM}. If the DM is assumed to be of Dirac nature, then the annihilation, co-annihilation, and conversion driven processes combined allow a range of parameter space: 100 GeVMDM750100~{\rm GeV} \lesssim M_{\rm DM}\lesssim750 GeV and 106sinθ0.0410^{-6}\lesssim\sin\theta\lesssim0.04 for ΔM>1\Delta{M}>1 GeV. While the nature of DM, either Dirac or Majorana, is not known, in this work, we assume the singlet-doublet DM to be of Majorana type and find that the relic density and direct detection can be satisfied over a larger parameter space. In particular, the allowed ranges of DM mass and sinθ\sin\theta are 100 GeVMDM1750100~{\rm GeV}\lesssim M_{\rm DM}\lesssim1750 GeV and 2×107sinθ0.452\times10^{-7}\lesssim\sin\theta\lesssim0.45 for ΔM>1\Delta{M}>1 GeV.
