Exploring $t$-Channel Models for Dark Matter

Abstract

We report on a comprehensive study of the Direct Detection phenomenology of singlet Dark Matter $t$-channel portal models. For that purpose, we present a complete computation of the loop-induced direct detection cross-section for both scalar and fermionic Dark Matter candidates. We complete the study by comparing the results with current and future bounds from Direct Detection experiments and requiring the correct Dark Matter relic density.
