Description

We investigate the possibility of having a TeV scale scalar dark matter candidate for different representations of SU(2)L. Aside from gauge interactions, scalar couplings are shown to play a key role. Their contributions to annihilation and DM-nucleon cross-sections are derived, and discussed in light of current direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments.
