The scalar Singlet-Triplet Dark Matter Model

We consider a model for cold dark matter, which combines a real scalar singlet and a real scalar $SU(2)_L$ triplet field, both of which are residing in the odd representation of a global $Z_2$ symmetry. The parameter space of the model is constrained by the inferred dark matter abundance from the WMAP and Planck data, the most recent results from the direct dark matter search experiment LUX, the Z boson decay width from LEP-I and perturbativity of the coupling parameters. The phenomenology of the remaining parameter space is studied. We find that the model allows for DM masses near the electroweak scale and a variety of decay scenarios.
