Abstract
We consider a minimal model of GUT scalar dark matter (DM) stabilized by the discrete gauge matter parity that arises from breaking of . The dark sector comprises the complex singlet and the inert doublet . GUT scale parameters are evaluated to the electroweak scale via Renormalization Group Equations (RGEs). Experimental and theoretical constraints limit the DM mass to the 80 GeV to 2 TeV range. The EW symmetry breaking is radiative and can occur via RGE running and 1-loop matching corrections from integrating out DM. Because the next-to-lightest scalar is almost degenerate with DM, it gives a background free displaced decay vertex at the LHC.
