Effects of new heavy fermions on complex scalar dark matter phenomenology in gauged two Higgs doublet model

Abstract

Abstract We study the inclusion of new heavy fermions on complex scalar dark matter (DM) phenomenology within gauged two Higgs doublet model (G2HDM). We find that for DM mass above 1 TeV, heavy quarks coannihilations into the Standard Model (SM) quarks and gluons dominate the thermally-averaged cross section relevant for the relic abundance of complex scalar DM. We demonstrate that the effects of QCD Sommerfeld correction as well as QCD bound state formation in determining the DM relic density are negligible. We show that the allowed parameter space is significantly constrained by the current PLANCK relic density data as well as XENON1T limit appropriate for DM direct search.
