We investigate a dark matter model involving an inert SU(2)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 and soft-leptons+jets+/ET 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 pp collider.
