Heavy Scalar Dark Matter

Abstract

Scalar fields with $SU(2{)}_L$ quantum numbers provide several viable Dark Matter candidates around the TeV scale. Thanks to scalar quartic interactions, the observed relic density can be obtained for a large range of masses, which we determine. In turn, the constraints on the scalar couplings lead to testable predictions in future direct and indirect searches.
