Prospects of Indirect Detection for the Heavy S3 Dark Doublet

We present an analysis of the Dark S3 model in the heavy DM mass region, this model features an S3 symmetric extension of the scalar sector of the SM including a scalar $SU(2)$ doublet dark matter candidate. We use publicly available tools to compute, in addition to conventional physical constraints on the parameter space of the model, the Sommerfeld enhancement factors for the present day annihilation cross section and the likelihood profile for a simulation of an observation run by the Cherenkov Telescope Array of the Coma Berenices dwarf galaxy. Our results disfavour masses above $\sim$5 TeV mainly because of overproduction of dark matter not consistent with the relic abundance observations; we also find a moderately large region with masses in between 1.2 and 4.9 TeV which predict the correct value of the DM relic and in addition have a light scalar with the characteristics of the SM Higgs boson (i.e. within the decoupling limit akin to the THDM). Comparison of our results with model independent exclusion curves from HESS and other CTA simulations show that these limits fall short only an order of magnitude in the value of the annihilation cross section in order to exclude the best fit point of the model.
