A possible feature of the inert doublet model (IDM) is to provide a dark matter candidate together with an alteration of both direct and indirect collider constraints that allow for a heavy Higgs boson. We study the IDM in light of recent…

We study a $Z_2 \times Z'_2$ symmetric 3-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM), wherein two of the doublets are inert and one is active (thus denoted in literature as I(2+1)HDM), yielding a two-component Dark Matter (DM) sector. The two DM candidates…
The Inert scalar Doublet Model (IDM) presents a simple yet elegant framework for a scalar dark sector where the lightest mode functions as a viable dark matter candidate under a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. With TeV-scale particles accessible…
$pp \to W^{\pm} h, Zh$ processes at the LHC are studied in the framework of the inert doublet model (IDM). To quantify the effects of the IDM and their observability in these processes we revisit the NLO (QCD and EW) predictions in the…
In this thorough study we focus on the indirect detection of Dark Matter (DM) through the confrontation of unexplained galactic and extragalactic $\gamma$-ray signatures for a low mass DM model. For this, we consider a simple Higgs-portal…

We explore extensions of inelastic Dark Matter and Magnetic inelastic Dark Matter where the WIMP can scatter to a tower of heavier states. We assume a WIMP mass $m_\chi \sim \mathcal{O}(1-100)$ GeV and a constant splitting between…
Many observations suggest that much of the matter of the universe is non-baryonic. Recently, the DAMA NaI dark matter direct detection experiment reported an annual modulation in their event rate consistent with a WIMP relic. However, the…
