The Scale Invariant Scotogenic Model: Dark Matter and the Scalar Sector

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the mutual impact between the dark matter (DM) requirements and the scalar sector in the scale invariant (SI) scotogenic model. The model is motivated by the neutrino mass and DM within a classically SI framework. It is a SI generalization of the scotogenic model, where the standard model (SM) is extended by a real singlet, an inert scalar doublet and three Majorana singlet fermions, where the lightest one ($N_1$) could play the DM candidate role. In addition to the annihilation channels $N_1{N}_1\to {\ell }_{\alpha }{\ell }_{\beta },{\nu }_{\alpha }{\bar{\nu }}_{\beta }$, the DM can be annihilated via few s-channel processes into SM particles, that are mediated by the Higgs/dilaton. This allows the new Yukawa interactions, that are responsible for neutrino mass generation, to take small values and therefore avoid the mass degeneracy between the CP-even and CP-odd inert scalars unlike the case of the minimal scotogenic model. In contrast to many Majorana DM models, the DM in the SI-scotogenic model couples to the quarks at tree-level, and hence the constraint from the direct detection experiments is very important on the space parameter. The aim of this work is to investigate the correlation between the DM requirements and the scalar sector in this model.
