Abstract

Dark Matter (DM), arising from an Inert Higgs Doublet, may either be light, below the WW mass, or heavy, above about 525 GeV. While the light region may soon be excluded, the heavy region is known to be very difficult to probe with either Direct Detection (DD) experiments or the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show that adding a second Inert Higgs Doublet helps to make the heavy DM region accessible to both DD and the LHC, by either increasing its couplings to the observed Higgs boson, or lowering its mass to 360\gevmDM360 \gev \lesssim m_{DM}, or both.
