Abstract

We reexamine the simplified dark matter (DM) models with fermionic DM particle and spin-0 mediator. The DM-nucleon scattering cross sections of these models are low-momentum suppressed at tree-level, but receive sizable loop-induced spin-independent contribution. We perform one-loop calculation for scalar-type and twist-2 DM-quark operators and complete two-loop calculation for scalar-type DM-gluon operator. By analyzing the loop-level contribution from new operators, we find that future direct detection experiments can be sensitive to a fraction of parameter space. The indirect detection and collider search also provide complementary constraints on these models.
