Abstract

We investigate a dark matter model involving an inert SU(2)L\mathrm{SU}(2)_\mathrm{L} quadruplet scalar with hypercharge 1/2. After the electroweak symmetry breaking, the dark sector contains one doubly charged, two singly charged, and two neutral scalars. The lighter neutral scalar can be a viable dark matter candidate. Electroweak production of these scalars at the Large Hadron Collider leads to potential signals in the monojet+/ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ET\text{monojet} + /\!\!\!\!E_\mathrm{T} and soft-leptons+jets+/ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ET\text{soft-leptons} + \text{jets} + /\!\!\!\!E_\mathrm{T} channels. We thus derive constraints on the model by reinterpreting recent experimental searches. Based on simulation, we further evaluate the sensitivity at a future 100 TeV pppp collider.
